Reply #12: Perhaps it would not have put downs about how much more rational one

[papau]

would be if you were not religious. Currently I expect the religious, if they object to atheist put downs of the religious in the Science forum, to be baned from the Science forum.

Perhaps in this new Religion forum the Atheist Evangelical core would avoid implying - just in this forum - that only they have the key to rational thought and discussion of the human experience.

Perhaps, in this forum, when mis-statements are made by the Atheist Evangelical core and pointed out by others with links and data as to who was or was not an atheist and as to what is in the religious history, we would not have the mis-stated assertion repeated over and over again as if mere assertion would convince anyone. Indeed perhaps in this forum it could be a given that the posters are religious so that no one was wasting time trying to convince anyone about how much smarter, more rational they are because the are not believers. Perhaps in this forum the discussion would be about shared religious concepts, not on the quality of a trace back of a given thought to any earlier source.

But such a forum does not need to exist on DU for DU to be a great site and extremely useful to our common goal of bringing back progressive values in government.

But it would be nice.
