Seems redundant, considering the nature of the forum.
"Proponent vs. Opponent" removes that redundancy, and makes it clear what the forum is about.

Re: "disbelievers". It's been explained above why that idea wasn't retained, but we could consider synonyms that don't have a faith-based implication: doubter, questioner. So proponents vs. doubters, proponents vs. questioners.
I still like proponent vs. opponent though.
I'm finding myself reluctant to go for anything with a vs. in it. Something like "Questionings" or carrying a similar sense could express a meaning that the subject matter is to be scrutinised, but without the need to divide members into factions. Perhaps I'm being too picky or finicky, I just see these ideas as a continuum, I'm clearly finding it hard to grasp where others are coming from. That is to say, I can relate to the ideas expressed but don't necessarily consider there are benefits in going in that direction, but I do see how it can be harmful, in creating obstacles or barriers from the very outset.

I'm all in for Chris's original idea. Hyman vs Honorton, has a nice ring to it, as well as conveying a touch of history.
Rounds vs squares, is my second choice.
