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.

Saying it is possible for an atheist to be conservative doesn’t contradict what I said.

It is rare for an atheist to be conservative though, atheism and conservatism obviously don’t mix, it is why atheists are democrats.

To bad you got goofy in your last paragraph, introducing slavery.

Look, if you want to be an atheist - fine. You are fortunate to live in a country founded on Judeo-Christian values that allows freedom. But stop throwing out these red-herrings regarding Islam (which is not the foundation of this country), arguments between Christian denominations (which you have exaggerated - both Catholics and Protestant share a common belief), and slavery (it was Christians that ended slavery). Nobody here is buying that crap.

I just looked at your home page, you are too old to be making the same old arguments of a teenager, with your slavery, Islam, arguments between Protestants and Catholics, etc.

You sound like a college freshman who just decided to be an atheist and is going to show his parents his new found teen arguments against conservatism and America.
