It seems that atheists and believers simply cannot tolerate one another. No matter how polite you may be, someone's going to be offended by your question and/or answer.
Therefore, atheists, if they created an atheist section, separate from the religion section, would you go there?
I figure if they did implement this, all the believers who are truly willing to open their minds could come and ask questions there, while all those less daring could stay here and comfort each other... (If nothing else, it might possibly separate the trolls from those who truly want meaningful responses)
What do you think?

I am not an atheists but I have thought you all should have your own section for a long time. This is the religion and spirituality section, if you don't have a religion and are not spiritual then you should have a place of your own. But just like atheist voice their views here you have to except people of religions to voice your views in your section. If you can except that then I don't see why Y!A does not have one for you.

Hmmm.... I'll give this serious thought later.
For now, I'm just going to continue doing what I can to clean this place up! That means that all prayer requests (no matter how sad the story) or preaching "questions" will be diligently and duly reported.
Yeah, I'm a snarky narc. lol
EDIT: Ok, I thought about it. I don't think there would be any point.
I don't have any questions about atheism. I have on rare occasions had a question about religions and those would need to go in R&S. I usually put my spiritual questions under Mythology, because the fundies don't hang out there and you don't have to weed through so much crap to find the good answers.
I'm qualified to answer some of the legit questions about religion, and they wouldn't be asked in an Atheism room.
So all in all, while it would be nice to have a sane haven (yes, I said SANE), I don't see a lot of use for it.
When I need that sane haven, I have other areas that I enjoy.

I would love it if we could all get along but it does seem like someone is always trying to hurt someone elses feelings. I think as Christians we need to discuss the Lord with the non believers.

IF The atheist really stayed over their (unless asking a legit ques in an unoffensive manner) I'd love to see that. But sad to say, most likely they wouldn't stay on their side anyway. For some reason they resent believers.

Has its good and bad points. the good: Lets both groups talk about issues within their beliefs with less interfence. the bad - both sides would have only the worst of their beliefs fostering hate / misconceptions on the other side. unfortunately there are morons on both sides of the issue who do not understand this if for debate, not conversion purposes.

I think the Fundies would continue to troll and post hateful comments there too. The same way they do in the Lesbian/Gay section. It's in their nature.

I think that would go against Yahoo bias in favor of those of religious persuasion

There is my friend, on another site. And believe me it's great although there are religious people there also the debates are civil and well thought.

There are only two religions:
Man and God
Where should we all go?

I guess we would have to make it an atheism and agnosticism section.
I would go.
