Why are all atheists liberals?

Definitions are slippery things when it comes to politics.
On gay rights and many other family value issues I'm left or more rightly (pun intended) libertarian. On the capitalist versus socialism scale I'm pretty conservative or more rightly libertarian. But there are atheists who are so conservative they leave in shaking my head.

Every so often I voice my opinions about ecomonics, but it takes energy to respond to what sometimes feels like the whole forum.

See, again I had no idea, I assumed you and Dystopia were liberals, just like most of the people on here. It's funny because even though our only medium is type and I'm not the most participatory forum member, there are some people on here whom I almost intuitively like. I think it might help just being out of the closet as having conservative (or however you want to label them) beliefs on these forums. I agree with you though that a lot of the time I don't bother because it is too exhausting to argue with the whole forum. I think that experience sometimes makes me feel like all Atheists are liberals.

Not surprising. But, my view of economics is quite conservative. But there Ayn Rand and her ilk were, and are more economically conservative than I am.
