As a Christian, I have at times felt dismissed because of my beliefs--but that is equally true of the world beyond TFP. I've never felt judged, though. Personally, I believe that to be spiritual is to constantly struggle to define and explain one's self. The struggle, in the end, is worth it, even in the face of detractors and critics.
Most of the people I respect around here have a "live and let live" approach to faith; it is something we share. Those who would dismiss me are not worthy of my concern, and therefore I continue to feel welcome here.
