Yes i believe they are.
Because...
a question from a christian saying that"atheism is a umbrella term for rapists, thieves, drug dealers,murderers, and people of loose moral conduct" was left on the board and is still there...
Yet...
My answer "How would you feel if i said you were a rapist thief drug dealing murdering person of loose morals...because you follow the bible and all those things are condoned in the little black book of hate (see www.evilbible.com)?
Was deleted and i received a violation and lost my old acc, that was about two months ago, and my acc is still gone as has my 360 page and email.
I did appeal, a few times because i was a top contributer and had nearly 5000 pts,but never got an answer.
It is proof that some of the YA staff is very biased....
Crazy Huh??!!

Absolutely yes.
Last year we had a lot of pagans, wiccans, even a few satanists, a lot more Muslims and Jews...
Now there is almost nothing but christians and atheists (a smattering of others).
Yahoo is not interested in diversity. It is interested in selling its product in America. Obviously a christian-rich forum appeals to more Americans than a truly diverse forum.
And bear in mind that the censors are hired in America, and are certainly not chosen for tolerance towards others. It's not like they're religious scholars.
I've had two questions censored due to complaints from christians today alone. Eventually they'll chase us all out and they will have an R&S section where no one but Christians appear.
Freedom of speech? Sorry, can't have that on Yahoo.

I don't really think so. I've been slapped with a "violation" a few times, and it always seems to be completely arbitrary. I think it really just depends on how many people complain; so if there's a bias towards Christianity, it's the bias of the users. (My posts are anything but "Christian," by the way.)
As for the people who wonder why they get a violation when they ask why all Muslim men beat their wives, or whatever, well, what do you expect. Again, I'm sure it's just because enough Muslim users complain; I really don't buy that there are intelligent human beings at Yahoo reviewing complaints and making reasonable judgments; but come on.

if you are adverticing or promoting any religion, which or maybe the yahoo q@a had a criteria for such sensoring. i dont think yahoo is biased towards any kind of relegion. maybe yahoo as i said they have the criteria to follow, like any reading articles (newspaper, magazine, books etc). if its offensive or using the yahoo q&a to convince, promote, accusing (any religion) without concrete evidence, of course yahoo staff will do their job as far as journalism and publication is concern.

No, just the opposite. These questions are allowed, but if it was "Jews" instead of "Christians", they would surely be removed:
Why do Christians cheat in anything they do, school tests, diets, and especially video games?
Why do Christians take advantage of the elderly?
Why do Christians steal kids' candy on Halloween?
Why do Christians speed and flip off people who just want to drive the speed limit?
Why do Christians tail people when they drive?

Well, the Christians think Y!A is biased toward atheism, and others think it's biased toward Christianity, so they must be doing a good job.

Being maximum folk of human beings are as we communicate, i don't understand why you may think of there could prefer to be a undeniable team for as we communicate human beings. i don't sense Yahoo has a bias in the direction of as we communicate human beings, and that i'm as as we communicate as they cause them to.

I think that they are biased toward those who comply with the rules and abide by their policies. It would behoove everyone to read them. It's free to access them.

The sensors don't like to see anyone hurt/slander any group--whether it be religious, cultural, racial, sexual preferential, minors, etc. I believe that they could be sued if they allowed obscene or hate comments to remain on here.
