Application of warnings or bans will be subject to moderator discretion. Feel free to appeal. If changes to the guidelines are necessary, they will be adjusted.


If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a group that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of any other group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you you will be banned on sight.

Provable means able to provide proof to the moderation, and, if necessary, to the community.

I find it odd that when filling out a form that asked me what my religion is one of the choices is Atheist.

What now? That is the that opposite of religion.

You would only be partially correct, as previously explained

I do not actively believe there is a higher power, so I am atheistic

I am open to the potential, so a fairly accurate simple description would be "agnostic atheist", or "someone who doesn't know whether or not there's a higher power and lives assuming there is not"

You'll notice that despite atheist being in there I've not only not made the positive claim that there's no god, I'm even open to the idea of something of that nature existing, because that's not what atheism is about

That is interesting. I guess not all atheists could be categorised as a religion then. Thanks for sharing!
