The net effect is that people are proselytizing for anti-religion-- in a forum where good people who didn't proselytize at all have been intimidated into saying nothing at all about a hugely important part of their personal experiences.

Hmmm. This is exactly the opposite of what I see in this forum. There are many threads (I suspect deliberate) posted by religionists that, like the sentiment expressed above, aim to emasculate those whose views are -- at least -- equally important. 'Good people' implies a collorary 'bad people.' I would suggest such disrespect is a top contender for Lentern surrender.
