I think you are making a big deal of something that doesn't need to be.

People come to forums to talk. I think that if these threads don't interest you, you are not forced to click on them. You don't have to click on every new thread you see. ^^

Let people talk about what they want to talk. It is not right to dictate what people can and cannot talk about. That's not in accordance with freedom of speech. It's a big and relevant topic in today's sociery, so it's normal that it sparks interest.
Theres way more threads dedicated to gaming than religion. The proportion is insane actually. Just, don't go in there if you don't want to read it.

I don't think anyone here has a problem with people discussing religion. What I'm seeing here is that people have a problem with the derogatory threads that essentially start and end with the OP, and also with the insults. It's not right to call someone stupid or ignorant for preferring a vegan lifestyle over an omnivores diet, so I don't see how we can accept threads that call people with religious beliefs stupid or ignorant. 

Religion is inherantly based on faith, so the clashing of belief with rationale will inevitably happen. But, there are also people who genuinely care to debate and find what they can about the truth. For those, the exchange of arguments is beneficial. For me, maybe because of where i stand in the subject, i find it important to clear up the information in order for those that are undecided to be able to formulate their conclusions. Censoring has historically been a common practice of religion, wich i must disagree with. I honestly don't read all of these threads. I don't have a serious grasp on wether this really is a problem or wether this is a problem because one of the sides doesn't like to be contradicted.

Either way, the forum rules apply and the threads shouldn't be closed, but moderated. If someone doesn't want to be part of the debate, don't go in the thread. I can't think of a better way.
