towards atheists hasn't been ideal. They are shown the door too quickly, in my opinion. Anti-theist yes; if your stated position is that all faiths should be done away with than I don't know how you have a meaningful discussion in an interfaith setting. But in the zeal to protect the room, some times atheists have been shown the door that might have been able to contribute to a meaningful discussion.
