RE: Religious people get very little reps, it's xenophobia and religionism.

I get very little rep these days. I used to get a ton. I have no idea why.
With respect to the asymmetry of repping noted, many atheists are somewhat partisan when amongst their own kind. And many if not most of the theists who seek out atheist forums aren't worthy of rep. We're not exactly getting their best. Whether the ratio of good to bad in theists is similar to that in atheists, I don't know. The motivation for an atheist to seek out fellow atheists is usually less problematic than that which drives a theist to an atheist forum. Yet even there, some atheists just come in order to find a supportive environment in which to express hatred and bigotry.
