They don't come out and say they ban you for being a theist. They are far more inclined to ban theists on trumped (no pun intended) up charges. Usually theists are Republicans and Atheists are Democrats. They ban Republicans more, but they don't say that and people who are Atheists or Democrats don't admit this though they know it's true. If you are an ass kissing theist who doesn't get involved in heated debates you're fine. Everyone knows this. It isn't controversial it just isn't acknowledged or admitted.
A theist on an atheist form has the choice to keep it to themselves or risk harsh criticism and banning. Is it fair? No, but it's something you can expect.
I tried to find a video but couldn't. In that video Konstantin Kisin tells the story of his grandmother who survived a Russian gulag. After the war the prisoners were released but were forcibly isolated in villages somewhere near Siberia. They lived there with the few natives as well as the guards and whatever that had imprisoned, tortured, enslaved, killed, robbed and oppressed them. When Stalin was posthumously exposed for directing all of this there was a massive wave of suicides among the guards because they had thought they were doing the right thing.
That's the best I can tell that off the top of my head. Here's a similar video I did find.
