Oh, come on. You have plenty of other secular categories to post in.
Atheism is by its very definition not a religion, therefore atheists don't have a logical place in the theology discussions, unless they're trying to learn more so that they can convert. But in most of the cases I've seen, it's just the athiests trying to rile up the religious people instead.
As an athiest, is religion an important part of your life? For some reason I doubt it. "Lack of Religion" is not an appropriate subdivision for theology boards.

If believers have a reason for believing, then they should be able to answer those questions. The questions I see posted here by other atheists are generally questions I had about religion when I was a believer, and I never got an adequate answer for any of them.

there is, it's called religion & spirituality
are you saying that atheists should not be allowed to partake in religious debate?
are you saying that people who hold certain beliefs should not have the right to express them?
I know of a state that existed in the 1930s and the 1940s that thought the same thing, it was called nazi germany.

Don't questions about religion belong in Religion & Spirituality?

This section is good enough for us.
The theists should be in another new section "Religion By The Book"

Perhaps there could also be a category for Christians, called "Lies about Atheism". And how about one for creationists, called "How the hell can I post anywhere with my eyes so tightly shut?".
It's a good thing we're here, because how could believers answer questions about God? If I don't know how to swim, I'm not going to ask another person who doesn't know how to swim to teach me how.

In general atheists know more about religion than Christians.
