Nearly every museum in the U.S. If you can't find one of those, you should really stay in doors.

The alternative would be to disallow any discussion of religion at all, lest we offend some sect. Yet, we observe the fact that a religion-related topic gets started every week. The membership here wants to discuss it. So we allow it, and watch closely, without favouring one religion or non-religion over another, as much as humanly possible.

If you feel those efforts are inadequate, you are certainly within your privilege to post a complaint in Watchtower. I look forward to seeing your suggestions for improvement of religion coverage in the Backroom.
Dude, there is a difference between discussing and insulting religion. If I said half the things about mulsims that these people say about Christians, every muslim on this board would be rightly offended. Even if I said something both true and objective, such as islam is a religion of war, or the islamic religion is anti-female (Not that islamic people are, but that the religion is), I would probably be banned.
They can discuss their opinions of religion without throwing out slurs and jabs and insult about God, Christianity, and Christians. (In case you couldn't figure it out, all the insults, slander, and false accusations people on this board have said about Christian, they have said about me and other board members.) Again, think of it in a way that your politically correct little head may understand: If I said that all muslims were stone age, wife beating, murderous, sadistic perverts (all things said about christians on this board) I'd be banned. I find it VERY insulting and VERY offending when people say those things about Christianity. (Tell me, what would you do if I said all evolutionists were stupid cavemen?)

These people are mature and should be able to discuss religion; but should be made to do so in a mature way, not like a bunch of little schoolgirls.

I like the backroom and would like to continue here, but I find people's attitude and actions (and the moderators job of moderating) quite appalling.

If religion is grounds to say things like homosexuals are this or that, or people who have abortions are this or that, or people who have sex before marriage are this or that. Then people have the right to question, disagree and point out things about religions.

they are a lot of intelligent people on these boards,most of the people here are adults, it would be a shame to limit what can be discussed, or to censor what is said. most people are careful to attack the points, statements or posts and not the person or religions per say'.
I assure you, you know a LOT less about christianity than you suppose.

Nav are you seriously trying to say PETA is spreading god's word? Wheat, barley and all other plants are also living creatures. Is it somehow acceptable to Yawe that we choose to murder the apple instead of killing the animals? They both are living, both created, in your theology, by Yawe yet you kill it and feel no shame?

GOD said that man could eat meat, not satan. See a discussion, not a mob stoning. Surely this is an improvement.
