After the note to the religious, perhaps a nice, comforting “you are still welcome here as long as you don’t cause trouble.” That is, of course, assuming they are still welcome here. Because they are, right?
In any case, we’re happy to have you participating here, but please don’t be too offended to see other commenters treating religion as an open-and-shut case.
Yeah, that works. If I had to edit it myself I would do something like this:
A note to the religious: you will find LW overtly atheist. If you’d like to know how we came to this conclusion you may find these related posts a good starting point. We are happy to have you participating but please be aware that other commenters are likely to treat religion as an open-and-shut case. This isn’t groupthink; we really, truly have given full consideration to religious claims and found them to be false.
Just food for thought. I trimmed it up a bit and tried being a little more charitable. I also started an article on the wiki but someone else may want to approve it or move it. The very last sentence is a bit aggressive, but I think it is the softest way to make the point that this is an unmovable object.

We are all looking to be “less wrong”, so I can’t imagine why anyone would be barred.

Shouldn’t just assert that it isn’t groupthink. Maybe it is. Let them judge that for themselves. Now it sounds defensive, even.
It’s probably always dangerous and often wrong to assert that you, or your group, is free of any given bias.
Otherwise I do like the paragraph.
Blinks well that’ll save me a lot of work, thank you =)
I’d like to think so, yes, though they shouldn’t be too offended if people poke and prod them a bit.
