Were this an attack on atheists in general, I would have a different position. That's bigotry.
In terms of my role as host, no where in that job description is there a requirement that the hosts defend individual members, particularly members who one may not like or trust. I continue to be committed to making this a place where both believers and non-believers can participate. That's my job as I see it. In general, I think we as a group achieve that goal, but, as has been stated over and over again, it's not a safe haven for either.
Lastly, there is no way in hell I am getting in the middle of a fight between members of our atheist community and the GLBT community (if such a fight exists other than in this thread).
The fact that this has been turned on the theists here is neither unexpected nor surprising.
