Does this mean that religious/anti-religious messages in signature lines will be deleted, or am I the only one that must comply with this request? I have had the same signature line FOR MONTHS and now there is a problem?

Please advise.

1. When we are aware of potentially disruptive sig lines, we ask members to change them.
   
The problem with signature lines is that they show up EVERYWHERE you post, and can potentially distract attention from discussions whenever you post. For this reason, we have a higher standard for signature lines, and ask members to change them if we think they might cause problems.

I believe the second half of your sig line is the type of thing that has the potential to cause problems, as it implies that religious believers are illogical, superstitious, hard-hearted slaves. My advice to you is that you keep the first part:

"There are no gods, no devils, no angels and no demons. There is no heaven and there is no hell. There is only our natural world."

But get rid of the second part:

"Religion is but myth and superstition--denying logic and defying fact. Religious conviction hardens hearts. Religious faith enslaves minds."

Or else I'll just delete the whole thing for you. :)
