15. I don't even think it's about that, to be honest.

If we all stopped participating on DU, I should think the religion forum would go the way of all the other religious safe-havens. That is to say, it would be deader than fucking disco.

I think there are a number of people who, for as much as they condemn virulent atheists, actually thrive on the acrimony the religion forum provides. No one is required to read the religion forum, or even to visit DU. Involvement in this site is entirely voluntary. I can only conclude, therefore, that everyone participating here does so because they find it rewarding on some level.
