Hmm in all the religious threads I have seen and participated in during my time here I have never seen anyone try and convert another member, what usually happens is some one posts a seemingly innocent question or article, receives answers which are then questioned by other members and then some dunce wades in with a line like 'it's all fairy tales init' the thread then degenerates and eventually gets closed.
Whilst I agree that people with strong beliefs either way wont be swayed they imo generally aren't the problem here.
