Politics forum.

Does anyone else feel like this forum is becoming more of a liberal politics forum rather than an atheist forum?

Atheists do tend to be more liberal anyway so it would make sense that political views on here would lean that way.

But there seems to be less and less religious discussions on here while we have about 100 threads just dedicated to making fun of Donald Trump or other republicans.

I'm not offended by this as I'm not a republican and I'm from the UK so I haven't even been following the Donald Trump campaign.  I didn't even know what a liberal or conservative was before I came to this forum to be honest and different threads tend to make me lean different ways.  I've seen extreme liberal threads and extreme right wing threads on here that have made me realize more what it's all about but I definitely wouldn't align myself with either side.

Have the numbers of religious debates decreased and political debates increased or is it just my imagination? Are there less religious people on here now?

It's an election year in the U.S. and here, the Republican Party is heavily aligned with the religious right - those who seek to ram their religion down other people's throats. So atheism and liberal politics are a natural mix here.

Well this is an Atheists forum, but I wouldn't think we'd talk about religion all the time. There's other things to talk about too. Atheists who have other shared interests like talking about other things than God. I imagine this forum would be quite dead if all anyone ever talked about was Religion. Just my two cents.

Good grief.  Is there any subject duller than the non-existent god and/or his deluded idiot followers?

Purely the outcome of being nowhere near the end of what seems like a decade long political cycle.

It's an election year in America. There's a lot on the line with this one.

What about the transsexual thread? Political or religious? Both actually, since religious bigots have chosen to make it a political issue. Same is true for many threads on this board.

Like which puppet the same puppet masters will choose this time around!
Or am I being too cynical again?

Hay guyz. Check out that Ronald Dump. He's such a weiner isn't he?
