Like what I posted, almost all atheists are lefties, that is a political fact, Rand was part of both left and right.
Naming individuals doesn’t change the national voting facts about the liberal politics of almost all atheists.
I don't think we've ever disagreed on anything here on Free Republic. This might be the first time but I do so respectfully since I so value your contributions -- always factual and accompanied with citations.
In my opinion, atheist Ayn Rand can be dismissed as a Conservative and thus on the right. She was wrong with her advocacy of slaughtering innocent children. And that's the most precious right of them all -- life. Without that, nothing. Yes, she spun a few good yarns but her seething contempt for President Reagan along with her pro-abortion stance makes her wrong. I realize that plenty of FReepers (not necessarily you) have a high opinion of this woman. To me, she's first and foremost an abortionist and that cancels out everything else. Again, my opinion only.
Not all Atheists are liberals. I’ve been voting for 26 years, never once voted for any Democrat.
After reading through the thread I guess the big point is you can agree with pretty much all the political goals of this site without believing in god. It’s possible. I’m one of several.
Yes, the founders were mostly religious men. Many of them were slave owners too. Proclaiming to be an atheist in the late 1700s was probably almost as controversial as being pro slavery in the 2000s.
