Mumsnet Talk

It seems to me there's a large amount of Christian posts. I've also noticed a fair amount of disapproval for other religions.

I am an atheist. I don't really want to be part of a christian site posing as a parenting site.

So is this actually a Christian place?

no there are lots of religions on MN

Don't be daft.

There are also quite a few people (like me) who aren't remotely religious. I don't feel out of place here.

No.

There are people on it who are Christian.
There are people on it who are Muslim.
In fact, any and every faith (or lack thereof ) are represented here.
We even have some witches (wicca??)

There is a whole section on religion - which you can exclude as a topic if you like, then you won't see any threads on it. Just click on 'customise talk board' at the top and go from there.

pmsl @ op.

start a thread about faith schools.....

you'll get your answer then

since you ask though follderol, i was having a very atheist moment yesterday and really wanted to discuss it, but didn't know where to begin or how to approach it. so i bottled it.

not my experience at all

I have been posting intermittently here for about 3 years I think.

I am a solid atheist, and generally pick up any hint of Christianity, being rather over-sensitive to it, probably.

But I have never thought for one moment that MN is a 'Christian' site.

There are many sensible broad minded tolerant wise Christian posters, just as there are sensible etc non-Christians on here.

If anything I relish the way that simplistic intolerance which relies on religious ideals is ripped apart by the intellectual element on MN..

in fact there is probably at least one religion that can only be found here

not at all, there are some specific Christian prayer threads, but anyone is welcome to post on them.. i have done so in the past, and am not christian and got some beautiful prayers when my grandmother was dying.

i have been here for 2.4 years and it has never, ever occurred to me that this site could come across as religious!

'posing as a parenting site' - quite an odd impression to get of MN.. if you had said ' a site full of harridans , spoiling for a fight,'then i;'d get your point !!

though there can be uproar if you start a thread called:

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!!

I would say there is more disaproval of Christianity than any other religion to be honest and it is not a Christian site but some posters are Christian and reflect this in their posts.

Maybe you don't see it because you're already comfortable here and know your way around. Maybe its also the timing of me coming on here. But I'm not joking nor am I trying to be funny.

I bet there are some confirmed Jedi Knights here too!

Start a thread asking all non-christians to sign in, You'll amazed...

mumsnet a christian site? ha!!!!! the very thought!!!!

Hell NO. There are plenty of us atheists around, too . We exist (really, we do)

It's a good job there haven't been too many bumsex posts recently !!

Not that I can see Follderol as Hecate said - there are people who are christian, people who are muslim, people who are sikhs, people who are atheist, people who are wicca and people who are trolls - each have their own stories to tell and we don't on a whole judge them for what they say unless the troll says they are planning on a pink wedding with pink geese following them up the aisle

ask a god question

annnnnnnnny gd question you like

sit back - grab yourself popcorn - and watch your answer unfold

i am really to be addressed as 'The most revituderal beatificastic Custardo pope'
