someone said that atheists weren't entitled to post questions in R&S because atheists don't believe in religion

Obviously not, otherwise your post would have already been deleted.

No. Atheism is a spirituality, it just happens to be different than the 'belief' system people want to instill upon religion. To not believe, in your living spirit, is just as valid as to 'believe', and opposite forces do not necessarily have to be seperated.
As a forum, mixing it up is good. I also call upon the rules of this site, and the 1st Amendment of our Bill of rights. Our country was founded on freedom of religion, therefore, freedom from religion is covered as well, as one of your rights as an American, and a human. You need not believe in 'God' to be a valid 'spirit'. If that were so, we would all die at birth, as we know nothing of thier 'God'. You are alive, you think, you feel, you breathe, you count. Even in some silly little religion section of Yahoo! Answers, which is but a very small portion of the world...heheh. Right on, Atheist, you are a god yourself.

I'm not a politician, nor do I agree with most politicians... I guess that means I can't have an opinion on politics? That's silly, everyone has a right to post questions and answers in here no matter what they believe. People who think that Atheists can't post in here are obviously insecure and can't handle the questions posed by Atheists. Maybe they should be the one's to quit asking and answering in here?

No, I do not agree. Not all religions believe in God, or "a" God. Some have more than one...some have no godhead at all. So, why would anyone need to sgin a "I Believe in God" form?
Besides, where would all the atheists go to keep informed on the latest in fundemental doctrine?

The title of the category IS Religion and Spirituality. It makes senses that those that believe in Religion and Spirituality, would have every right to be here. Now, on the other hand, since atheists do not believe in Religion and Spirituality, why would you even consider darkening our "doorstep"? Perhaps that is why you are not welcomed here because you have ZERO to offer this section. Hope you can find a happy home elsewhere.
GOD bless

If religious people don't want atheists posting questions on R&S, then they need their own section of answers called
Society and Culture > Religion and Spirituality > Braindead Tools and Mindless Sheep

If you want to play here, then play nice. Be civil and respectful. Your 1000+ answers and 350+ questions prove that you have not been. Most of your answers are not even complete sentences. You are rude, offensive, and ignorant. If you go to a party and act this way, don't be shocked when people toss their drinks in your face and tell you to get lost.

Bullies don't belong on here. This is a sincere question-and-answer site, not a high school locker room. Atheists only come on here to make fun of others' beliefs, but you expect the rest of us to have consideration for yours. And then you have the nerve to call us hypocrites. When did a believer ever come on here and call you morons, stupid, etc.? If you wanted to discuss your beliefs, you'd stick to the sites for atheists. But then that wouldn't be any fun, would it?

I would have no problem signing such a form....... but why would we need it? Yahoo Answers is free for everybody, Christian or not. If we had a form that said we must believe in God, then you wouldn't be here askin' this dumb question in the first place. I guess such a form IS needed. :P

Of course not.
However, maybe they should sign a form that says
"I agree to respect ALL beliefs, and I understand that rude or obnoxious behavior may disqualify me to post in this forum."
Some people just don't get that...

no, but I think they should be over the age of 18 and have an iq of more than 110 to be allowed to post here
