“Newsflash: you can be conservative, non-religious and manage to avoid going to the Religion Forum to repeatedly harass people about their respective religious beliefs.”

Excellent point.

FR is a very potent mix of fundamental conservatism (pro religion) and free wheeling libertarianism (pro freedom).

I think the mix is so powerful, because the left in America long ago stopped being “liberal” in the traditional sense of the word (that is to say, pro-freedom and individualistic) and became group-thinking socialist, militantly athiest wannabe tyrants.

This has created a situation where libertarians and conservatives have more in common than different - a true case of “the enemy of my enemy, is my friend”.

There are compromises to be maintained in such a partnership.

Conservatives sometimes put up with the more flaky pro-individual beliefs of some of us libertarians - in return for us libertarians recognizing our own political philosophy is about (not) insisting on how others should believe - and respecting those whose primary driver is faith, and the deeply profound legitimacy of that faith.

If you’re not of deep faith, then keep it to yourself.

Why argue pro-evolution on a religion forum?

Probably in pursuit of a FReeper who had posted pro-God on an evo thread. The Crevo wars were legendary, back in, what, 2005?
