I'm inclined to agree here.
While there's nothing wrong with having an irreligious thread, there's very little discuss concerning a lack of belief in something, unless the thread serves as a possible umbrella thread for overall irreligious issues and curiosities, such as:
The Irreligious and Religion itself: There are some who are irreligious who greatly dislike religion, whilst there are those who actively attend churches or religious services as a community or cultural activity, or actively identify with a spiritual side that's not religious.
Religiousness and the law: Take the seven states in the US that have laws that prohibit atheists to run for elected office, or the heavily prevalent religious overtones in greater politics around the world.
Ummm... That's all I got really atm?
