I would not be for banning.

I absolutely would block anybody who attempted to proselytize here -- to me or anybody else. If everybody did that, in short order, they would have no audience.

As it is, I almost never see proselytizing. I don't know if it's because they get bored and move on; or if can't stand the heat and move on.

We go all snarky on them, and enjoy ourselves...and by "we" I mean me....
They don't last long, "believing" stunts the brain.

In agreement with you. This issue is a recurring one here, has been since last year: Should believers be allowed to join. Site policy is that no one is excluded if good behaviour is practised, including believers. I didn't join to do battle with religionists either, but I respect the site policy. Seems to me there are lots of places they could be where non believers would neither wish to be nor be accepted. Personally, I like the idea of this site as a refuge from the religious world. Others have a different view. Moreover, it is fact that what is meant by "believers" here is open to definition. An obvious definition of someone who believes in religion doesn't cut it. Factor in new age spiritual types who claim not to be religious but sort of are, and so-called secular religionists and alike, as well those who claim to be generally or "currently agnostic" but unfortunately display noticeable residue religious leanings in their posts and comments, and you soon realize that the lines of what it means to be a believer here can be blurry. I can only say I don't waste my time here on overtly religious believers. I could waste my time in the real world doing that if I wished. I don't wish.

Ignore. Ive learned that like the TRUMP bubble you can't break through with Critical Thinking or logic. So don't engage, not worth it. walk away or change the subject. They confuse opinions and facts, you can't win. so smile and walk away.

I dunno what the policy is..admin. has mentioned before that they even actively recruit religious people. I don't know if I understood correctly, though.

So, for now I just hit "block" the moment anyone admits to being religious, or shows support for Trump's policies and/or the alt-right.
Some people enjoy arguing with them, but I've had all of it I want.

Let them stay,they provide such Good Material to work with.

report them to admin. you can flag a post by looking under options or report them from your private messages. they wil handle it

I'd like to ban them myself. They are intruding in every other venue on the planet. Having one idiot free zone seems a small thing to hope for...
