To  oppose, to offer an alternative or to “set the record straight” requires a belief system or opinion (another way of saying “I believe that…”)  therefore SOME  of the postings by atheists are annulled.

To oppose requires nothing more than an opponent.

If atheism is not a belief or religion, why do atheists seek an audience on BELIEFNET? BNs mission” Our mission is to help people like you find, and walk, a spiritual path that will bring comfort, hope, clarity, strength, and happiness.”

 If there is no spirit, no soul, then there is no spiritual path to sleek.

If there is no belief there is nothing to discuss. 

So what exactly is the purpose then of the U.S. News and Politics board on Beliefnet then, where you and I spend so much of our time? Or for that matter, any of the many politics, news, and current events boards? Is politics all about belief, religion, spirit, soul, and a spiritual path? I don't think so. In fact, in the U.S., we have a separation of Church and State. And as you know well, if we talk too much about religion over on the politics boards, the threads are either locked or sent to a more appropriate board. 

And atheists have much to discuss. Just look at the way that atheists criticize the Catholic Church for its sex abuse scandal, which certain Christians want to deny even exists. And look at the way that atheists criticize young earth creationism. And look at the way that atheists legitimately criticize Christian theocratic politicians like Santorum. Should I continue? 

Thanks guys. I learn from you all.
