Why so many non-Christians on a Christian site?

Since Christians want to think that at the most there are 15% non-religious (atheists and agnostics). Why does this site have about 15% Christians?

Could it be that Christians cannot defend their religion?

Christians don't want to discuss the so called objectives morals provided in the Bible by God.

They cannot provide almost no information about haven.

Etc. etc. etc.

Atheism requires constant negative reinforcement to sustain itself, as atheism is a negation of theism and thus relies on unbelief rather than a belief. Unbelief doesn’t have an object of belief and/or referent; consequently it’s vacuous in nature needing constant maintianence to sustain. This is why and how atheists uphold their unbelief by looking for reasons not to believe because unbelief alone isn’t enough to uphold their atheism. Atheists look for what they conceive as errors from Christians as their reason for unbelief.

Just as you do for reasons for your unbelief in billions of gods you don't believe in.

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure if this is satire or not. I immediately thought, "he's making a joke," but I've been surprised in that respect before.

"Atheism relies on unbelief," this indicates that you misunderstand what atheism is. Atheism is a label for those who are not theists. It isn't an entity that requires sustenance as you claim. Atheists are people who are not theists and they come in all different shapes, sizes, colours and from all different backgrounds. Any attempt to pigeon hole a large group like you just have is really nothing other than ignorant. That is, if you are earnest in your stereotyping and not just being satirical.
Religion feels to me a little like a Nigerian Prince scam. The "offer" is illegitimate, the "request" is unreasonable and the source is dubious, in fact, Nigeria doesn't even have a royal family.
