Should yahoo answers make another topic under "Religion & Spirituality". I mean different religions have their own section . "christians for one Atheists for the other and so on".
Is this a good idea?
and if Yahoo answers reads this please take it into mind!

I don't see how that would make the Christians stop lying about the atheists, and as a consequence, the atheists come to the Christian forum to defend themselves, and you'd have what we already have.
On top of that, the Christians would most certainly come to the atheist section to preach and the creationists would come to post their ignorant nonsense.
It wouldn't change anything.

No, R&S is a general topic under Society and Culture. If you start breaking it down by religions/belief systems you will end up with 15 Catholic, 213 Baptist, 3 or 4 Muslim, 2 Methodist categories to mention a few.
This question seems like your faith is so weak that you don't want it to be challenge or that you are afraid of free speech in a public forum. I understand that some people may be insulting and often people read more "emotion" into answers that was intended, but this is common to *all* people on this site - some of the most hateful things I've seen here have been from "believers".

At first glance, it sounds nice. You can have a section reserved for Christians, or more so, separate categories for protestants, Catholics, JWs, UUs, Mormons, etc. Then the other for Judaism, Orthodox, pagan, Wicca, atheists, etc. You get my drift.
But I don't think it would be a good idea. That's just fodder for certain people of faith to "evade" other sections. Despite the crap we all face in here, it's better if we all stayed in the original R&S.

No. I would not like to search in all of the different sections. I'm a Christian, but I love to answer some of the questions presented by Atheists. If only I could see their reactions!
Things are simple and good the way they are.

No - don't segregate us.
I want to ask my questions in a forum where I can get a wide spectrum of opinions and answers.
If I'm looking for factual information, I'll look for it in encyclopedias and do the research. But here, I'm asking for people's opinions and experiences and I'd rather not have a one-sided group.
Thanks for asking!

No, I don't think it would really work. The point of The Q&A section of Yahoo is to ask and answer questions, and the point of the relighion section is, of course, to ask questions about relighions, weather your own beliefs or that of others. Why segerate?

Witness all the Christians blasting their crap over in LGBT... do you honestly believe anyone would stay in their own section?
I wouldn't. I'm not here to get patted on the back. I'm here to discuss/debate differing viewpoints.

I disagree to it,
let all these questions on Religion and Spirituality atleast reside together on YA! let them always be in one group cos there is hardly any place left on this earth where division of them doesn't occur.
I expect them to stay ,atleast here, peacefully

Atheists don't believe in any God and therefore a category for them would more appropriately fall under the Society & Culture Groups rather than Religion & Spirituality.

I like the idea. There's no reason we couldn't cross over to the other if we felt like it, but we'd have our own recognized space. I see nothing wrong with it.
Of course, Yahoo! wouldn't want to associate themselves with atheists in any way. This IS a hugely religious nation/world/whatever, so they'll never risk their profits for the sake of altruistic fairness or honesty (honesty in that we DO exist, however much it bothers the Christians, Muslims, etc...).
