Because this is a SCIENCE forum, science being FACTS, something religion doesn't have.

Because the RELIGION forum is part of the Sci(ence)Forums and religion is nothing but psychological government for one's well being and psychology is a SCIENCE.

Because there are two sides to the issue of religion. Therefore there are people with a different opinion that have much to contribute.

I propose a different name for this forum..."Christianity punching bag forum...where you can also..um..discuss religion too"...yes it's a long name but it clears up a lot of what goes on here.
There are so many Atheists here because they are critical thinkers...they refuse to accept very faulty ideology and question philosophy's of religion being sold to them.....some are more critical than others and some are down right Black leathered Nihilists.

You can discuss religion without participating in one. It has sociological, historical, psychological, logical and philosophical aspects. Scientists are nerds, nerds have large bodies of knowledge in certain areas, whether or not its within their formal discipline.
Atheism correlates highly with science because the tools of science are critical thinking and logic. Finely honed critical thinking skills and religion go together like Jack the Ripper and industrial chainsaws. Religion attracts people through transcendentalism, spirituality, faith and all that other unspeakable crap. Scientifically, there is no basis for such things.
You might also speculate on the reverse causal link: Atheists don't believe in all the usual goddidit/religiousy/spirit explanations for questions that provoke their curiosity. Since they think religious sources have no special validity, and are consequently, a piss poor source of knowledge, they are driven to pursue Decent Answers™ and enter the sciences.
Also, because there is such a poor logical case for the existence of God/big giant boats/ magic angels etc. atheists almost always win any debates regarding these topics. Winning is fun.
