Also, the religion thing is specially tricky given the fact that religion finds a wide array of things as offensive, and so that's a bottomless hole that the protection of religious sentiments leads everything down to.

Indeed. That's where a case-by-case basis is particular with this, rather than any given rule (which is general). I always say if ever in doubt, ask a moderator (or even a user ~ we have a lot of knowledgeable people here that could have advised for/against posting the pic).

But still I don't know what in specific I should be avoiding when I discuss religion and criticize religion in order to avoid a warning. It feels like there is a blasphemy law here were I have to treat the idea of a god and normalize this being as real and as if I must be careful not to insult his sentiments, which goes directly against the worldview of Atheist.

My take away from those pictures is that pictures kind of reverberate what would otherwise be accepted in written form.

Or perhaps I cannot use comedy when I criticize religion?

Or perhaps I cannot start a conversation about how the idea of a god is divorced from reality? And can only "react" if someone starts a conversation about religion?

Which picture are you referring to? Maybe if you tell me which picture is the one that landed me the warning I could have an idea of what will get me a warning here in VGChartz.

I am afraid that if I ask some of the people here and their possible stance of what is acceptable they will even say: "Don't even say that god is not real because that will offend people." I would like how much Atheist expressing in this forum is at odds with the policy of not offending religion.

If I get a straight answer of what in those pictures will land me a warning I can know for sure what is not acceptable and then avoid it or perhaps come to the realization that I can't function and post here with these rules and should maybe leave for both my sake and the vision and direction of the website.
