Inteligent people of any persuasion should not be excluded.

Makes for better debate.

I'd not belong to this site if it had anyone other than a non believer. I've been preached to all my life and don't want to hear it anymore. Besides, what's the point. They believe what they believe and I'm trying to come to terms with being agnostic. Why would they help in any way. I want to feel comfortable. I have friends who believe and we never talk religion. IMHO

Fine with me as long as they don't crap on the rug while they're here.

I'd rather it were kept believer free, believers have plenty of groups and forums to themselves, let's have something for us.
There's forums out there for debating and arguing.

Bring 'em on. If they are prepared to engage in reasoned and polite debate then I would like to meet them.

I have no issues with it..maybe they can come to their senses....and actually maybe we can get them to at least start questioning why they believe.

Are you not a 'Believer' by holding to your own pseudo relgious beliefs? In my mind by holding yourself up as the 'Anti- Religionyou are identifying yourself as a Religion. And finally are you not as guilty as religions when you hold yoursef up to the same exclusivity that you rail against in religions?

Welcome believers! They need to hear the truth, the facts, learn that most are realists, not believing myths and legends. We need to get the truth out there and work to do away with the BS of religion. Peace.

I have no problem with it.

I have no problem with believers joining. I'm a believer too, as long as they don't try to preach their faith to us

I haven problem with believers joining. I'm a believer tools long as they don't try to preach their faith to us

Maybe @admin could code in a block theist option, but I prefer an open community...and I enjoy arguing with them.

Judging from the wording about this site, I tend to agree with CatByrd's reply. This site is not really about being an open debate site. It's more about meeting those if like minds and enjoying interesting conversation and sharing of ideas. There are plenty of sites that are set up just for the debatng of the differences in beliefs and ideologies. But being very new o this site I may not have a good idea as to what mist on here are here for. Just putting in my 2 cents.

I hope many will join and be freed from the yoke of a religion they were brainwashed into believing. If, however they find more comfort in their beliefs, I wish them well with their imaginary friend

I don't see why they would bother. What would they find for them? It wouldn't bother me as long as they don't go around posting hateful comments or trolling people. If they simply want to learn and grow I feel that a non dating type of site would be better.

Damn dude you need to chill I'm just here for a good time

Yeah, I suspect that'd be a recipe for a lot of close minded meanness... might be best to keep that on fb...

Fuck 'em. If they want to join, fine. If they don't like what they hear, they can go away. If they post religious drivel, the admins can ban them. Simple.

if they came to learn...but no doubt they would come to argue

I must have this uncommon sense in this over ego world. Why not respect everyone and be open minded.

Why not allow the 85precent of your fellow man(Religious) on this site for discussion?. Not for an argument that is an angry discussion. You set the rules for a change.

Atheist forum have their largest categories topics (by far)on Religion. They have alot of fun mentality torturing their religious guests and many do change their way of thinking.

Don't be a bigot, this site complains alot about Religion, who likes a complainer. Take action and educate your reasoning.

As long as they are civil, no problem. Jerks of any persuasion ruin conversation.

Personally, I think any believers who would want to join this site would most likely want to argue their "case". I don't need a "safe space" either, but I really don't want to be bombarded with "arguments" why my lack of delusional beliefs makes me "less than". I can get that just about anywhere. Was hoping to avoid it here.

If a believer comes in to have a discussion because he or she is interested in an honest exchange - which can ONLY mean they are in a possible crisis of their faith, then I think that can be productive... as long as WE don't disrespect their "clinging to hope that atheism is wrong". Many of us have had to plead and beg for years before we realized no "god" was listening.

However, the above, I feel, is HIGHLY unlikely. Therefore I think that any believer that comes on here is looking to crap in our pool.

On the other hand, as you said, Draco, if that happened, the flame-outs would be quick, and if the offender remained, he'd be blocked.

Bottom line.... this is like hanging out at a cafe. Whoever walks in should read the menu before they come in and sit.

I don't know, some people on here were talking about mother nature being a God, sounds fairly ignorant to me. If people of other beliefs are joining we should just give them space, ignore them, or maybe listen to some of the things they have to say.
