Debate forum for apologists theists and counter-apologist atheists to exercise their arguments. Seriously, atheists can't post in the apologetics section? What is apologetics for if not to convince the non-believer?

I completely agree with this; yesterday I made my first post in a thread openly discussing what Atheists beliefs are and getting them wrong. So as an Atheist I put my point across, only to be told that I was not welcome.
The point I made in response was as follows: "As an Atheist, I think the worst thing I could do is to seek out information I already agree with, so frequenting an Atheist forum would be largely pointless and it would 'confirm my bias' and I would fail to learn much or even anything new at all.
If one has a belief, the fastest way to strengthen or lose that thought is to hear the arguments against and to question the things one takes as gospel. Few people do this and by excluding Atheists from discussion one is not only denying me knowledge and education but one is also denying themselves the same luxury.
As Atheism was being discussed in this thread, I felt my side of the story was necessary to the discussion.
Was I asked, upon my registration, for how I define myself, just so I can be marginalised and silenced by the majority? I genuinely would like to know."
