Yes, but one can discuss this in theological rather than political ways. It is fairly straightforward.
People make them political issues.
I do not believe for a moment that all of these topics can be discussed in "theological ways." How should we treat someone who self-identifies as a witch? "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live," says the Bible, and if that's your theological source material, what choice do you have but to kill him or her?
To suppose that we can have "theological discussions" about the disposition of people's lives is barbaric, in my opinion, something from our distant past which we have grown far beyond. These are social, psychological, legal and humanitarian questions now -- and so they should be. To permit religion to dominate is to say that, yes non-believers in Muslim countries should be murdered, and that yes, a woman should be allowed to bleed out because doctors are too terrified to operate in states that are controlled by "Christian Nationalists."
These are not theological questions: they are deeply human questions. To suppose that any of the plethora of gods and religions the world acknowledges are the final arbiters is to abdicate our own human responsibility to our fellows, our own species -- and therefore our own family.
If you sign up to a forum called 'Religious Forums' and you are a liberal atheist, you should realistically expect to be in a minority. It's not that you are uninvited but if one is coming here for the off-topic discussions, which is what those subafora are, I'm not sure why you're upset that people are wondering at that. It's not the main intent behind the forum.
I have no problem being in a minority -- I've been in several all of my life. I'm gay. I never had a family and grew up not knowing how to deal with family life. I'm an atheist, and always was, in a world that was (76 years ago) very religious indeed. But I got along in that world, and I fought back against that world, too.
But where I think you, and some of the others who would like to see me out of here, are wrong is this: religion isn't about God (or gods, or spirits or anything else). Religion is about being human, and tries to answer the questions that humans (through both religion and philosophy) have always asked: who are we, where do we come from, where are we going, how do I know what's right and wrong, how can I live a good life, and what is a good life anyway?
If you make your interest in religion only about "what is the nature of God" and questions like that, you'll never learn anything -- because that information is not available to you. All you and everybody else can do is surmise, and then argue back and forth with nothing but scriptural texts written by humans to make your points. And that leads, as history has already shown us over and over and over again, to nothing but schism.
Humans only began to discover what "human rights" are (or should be) starting with the Enlightenment -- the change of focus from the divine to the human. So all those other topics that some members of RF don't want to be discussing are really, in fact, the subject that we should all be studying, all of the time. Because in the end, humans are the focal point of the study of religion.
