Holy necropost batman!
Anyway on your last point Hoffa, do you remember how groups of religious and non-religious people flagged each others' videos, getting them shut down? As for your comment I think it remained intact, though, since Omni doesn't delete posts themselves, but yeah the thing is on Omnimaga you keep religion out of the site and there's no reasonable accomodations that will be made for any member (special privileges given to a member due to a certain motive, or disallowing everybody to do something just because of one person). Everyone online just got strong views about this and you're inevitably gonna offend some people from one or the other group. This is sad because in real life, we sometimes make jokes about religion and nobody really mind much, the most notable example recently being stuff related to

We're all humans after all.
As for people who starts religion discussions online, usually they don't even realize how bad it can turn out. It can be someone new to forums/IRC, someone who loves debates or in some rare cases, someone trying to troll (or getting people to troll) then grab a popcorn bag afterward or somebody who complains suddenly about something or someone based on non-religious/religious motives.
