I think TFP welcomes everybody, but is not particularly hospitable to stupid people. If you have a belief, be it political, philosophical, religious, or anything else, if you have no proof, if you hold this belief despite proof to the contrary, you won't last long here.
All the christians I've met (outside of the internet) except for two, are, in my opinion, stupid people. Their beliefs do not hold up to scrutiny. As such, I am wary of those that I met here, and will challenge them. Of course, there are very few stupid people here, due to the nature of TFP.
I myself, hold no real religious beliefs. I think some christian denominations are plausible, buddism is very cool, and of course there's always the chance that the world is nothing more than we see.
