I'm fine with agnostics and atheists posting on the faith board, although it would be nice if frankly negative or mocking references towards any deity or deities or force of nature, etc. were also not allowed.FYI, I've gone ahead with a revision along the above lines:
> > The idea here is support, so please don't pressure others to adopt your beliefs or put them down for having theirs. Sorry, but this may mean not posting some aspects of some beliefs. In particular, agnostic and atheistic views are now considered not to be supportive of religious faith. Since these issues first came up, there's been discussion of possible exceptions and specific examples, and these guidelines may still be in a state of some flux. It's a challenge to foster this kind of discussion.
