If Yahoo Answers had a "Non-Religion & Non-Spirituality" Forum, would most athiests continue in this forum?
For a "Religion and Spirituality" forum, there sure seems to be a lot of non-religious anti-spiritual people that frequent this forum. Is it because atheists don't have their own forum, or is there some sort of sense of satisfaction that is derived from answering posts about God with "There is no God" or words to that effect?
If atheists had their own forum, would most go to it, or continue commenting in this one? I'm just curious.

This IS the "Non-Religion and Non-Spirituality forum". This by virtue of it NOT being the Believers and Believers Only section. The fact that a position of disbelief is just as relevant to the subject of religion and such as the converse, means you don't really get to say who's opinions don't belong. If you make a religious claim, particularly if you Address the non-believers, like, I don't know, exactly how the person whose question I may or may not be responding to at this moment has, then, as this is a public forum, you get to hear things you might not agree with. That's how it works, and we don't charge anything for it.
Why are BAD Christians always so ignorant about what an atheist is‽
ATHEIST - someone who does not believe in a God – any God – not just the Christian one. But that does not mean they do not hold strong moral or religious beliefs! They can follow any religion that does not have a god and there are a lot of those!
Like BUDDHISM – Religious teaching from Buddha and his followers that by destroying greed, hatred and delusion (the cause of all suffering) man can attain perfect enlightenment!
Anti atheism is doing so much damage to Christianity that it is in reality anti Christianity – David Manley
It takes in reality only one to make a quarrel. It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism, while the wolf remains of a different opinion. - William Ralph Inge.
Why so blind to what causes the backlash against Christianity?
ALL the other religions and atheists live in peace and are ONLY attacked by BAD Christians which causes all GOOD Christians to despair at the damage they do!
The self destruction of Christianity is underway and the only thing that can stop it is to abandon the terrible human emotions, seek to rediscover the idea of a loving god and act like it!
Posts like yours that drive people further away from God are driving you towards hell.
So who are you working for the devil or the antichrist because it sure ain't the loving god!
Considering I'm in a forum called Society and Culture, without having a sub category called Religion and Spirituality I'd say it wouldn't make a difference to me at all.
This is a place to discuss religion and/or spirituality, is it not? Atheists have their own individual points of view on the topics. Some atheists are actually religious (Buddhists, some Unitarian Universalists, Ethical Culture, etc.) and some consider themselves spiritual. Nor do I see this listed as "pro-religion and pro-spirituality". And as long as religion influences the cultures we live in, atheists will continue to discuss, confront, and even sometimes ridicule and attack those religions.
