And why is religion the only topic that shouldn't be discussed? Every other topic that's important to humanity is discussed thoroughly to encourage a mixture of different ideas, but when religion comes along, it gets some sacred privilege to be left alone. Why is that?

And why is it that discussion of something is an indication of a weak or false belief? You would never hear proponents/opponents of something like gun laws or gay marriage saying things like, "Why do you always try to talk about gun laws or gay marriage? The fact that you bring it up so much probably means your own stance is wrong. We here are confident about our beliefs and don't need to talk about because we're so confident." It's an incredibly silly notion.

Think your unknowingly referring to Islam, as that is the only religion left in the modern world where you will be jailed/killed for speaking against it.

Otherwise, since religion is faith based and not tangible, discussion and debate is moot from the get-go. But there is something to be said about constantly discussing something. To bring it up all the time means in principle that the idea in question isnt mostly agreed upon. If something is not always discussed, then tha means a viewpoint tends to be a majority one, no real discussion needed.

Look through this thread and you'll see people making two imlpications. Firstly, that religion is a topic that is better left not discussed. And secondly, that people who discuss atheism or religion likely have weak or false beliefs.
