118. Details for the new person
Yes this is a Democratic website. And as it happens the Dems like to think of themself as the Big Tent party. That is we try to embrace as many people as we can. Particularly with an eye to making sure the smaller groups get a voice in the process. Its kinda what we think this nation is about.

As to the specifics of this channel. Atheists have been in it from day one. Its why it was set up. Conversations between atheists and theists can get quite fiesty. Thus the admins set up channels for each of the subgroups and this channel for debates on matters such as the existance of god and other controvercial subjects pertaining to religion.

If you wish to partake in a conversation with no opposition on matters of religion and god there are numerous subgroups dedicated to the various religions. We atheists even have subgroup of our own.

Do not expect to be able to exclude atheists in this channel though. We are here and we are not going away. This is as much our channel as it is yours. Hopefully we can get past the anger our sides seem to develop for one another and find some productive conversations to be had. And who knows maybe we both might learn something.
