I don't like the idea of forcing people to agree not to post "hateful" speech.

Firstly, some Christians may feel that it is right to hate those who hate God with perfect hatred. By asking Christians to agree not to post anything hateful, you may be turning away some Christians.

Psa 139:21-22 NHEB LORD, do I not hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you? I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.

Secondly, hate speech is notoriously difficult to define. You could reword it to be something like no "unkind" language.

If these are rules that are coming down from the phpbb, then there's nothing that can be done about it.

yeah, that list of rules at registration comes straight from forum software. I may be able to modify it some time.
