There are a set of essential doctrines that one needs to hold to be an orthodox Christian. Such as the Trinity and the bodily resurrection of Christ. Anyone who does not hold those doctrines are unorthodox or in some cases heretical. They are welcome here but can't be part of the staff. We don't hold anyone to non-essential matters.
Theologyweb is one of the most open Christian run web sites on the web. Most others are a lot more restrictive and would not even allow other denominations much less atheists to be members.
Making such statements is a good example of you thinking you know more about Christianity than you actually do.

Unlike you guys, I've interacted with a large variety of Christians from around the world in many different forums who have held many different views. This forum is constantly fascinating for me though because you guys are so ignorant and insular and so self-confident in your ignorance."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

I can't imagine how ignorant and uninformed someone has to be to mistake you for an expert in anything.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
