like an atheist says: "hoo !", you find 10000 people repping them for saying just "hoo".
Religious people get very little reps, it's xenophobia and religionism.
As has been pointed out, it's a partisan site. And there is clearly a double standard. And there are a number of people who don't do much more than type anti-religion slogans -- this is considered acceptable; it's a feature of sites like this.
But I think you're wise for engaging with people who disagree with you. Nobody makes progress by closing ranks and nodding along with the chorus.
There are sites where you can get negative rep points also. I always feel like I'm doing best if I'm about 10% in the negative. If people on a partisan site start agreeing with you too much it's a sign you're not challenging yourself.

Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics, 1095b, 20-25:
A consideration of the prominent types of life shows that people of superior refinement and of active disposition identify happiness with honour; for this is, roughly speaking, the end of the political life. But it seems too superficial to be what we are looking for, since it is thought to depend on those who bestow honour rather than on him who receives it, but the good we divine to be something of one’s own and not easily taken from one.
