salukigirl: this forum is also about support for people with lack of religion. people trying to find their place in life with something other than "God". so when people who are non-believers are shunned like that, it makes it very hard to ask for advice or support.

Ideally, we would all respect each other but idealisms and reality don't always mix well. I'm not terribly active outside of the schizophrenia topic but I've noticed, for example, that there is a men's support forum and a woman's support forum. Maybe it would be helpful to develop a forum for those who are exploring different forms of faith and another for those who are exploring aetheism or identify as agnostic. It's not an ideal solution but it would carve out a bit of respected space for those whose beliefs don't fall within the mainstream.
