Quote:Do I have to put that I am generalizing? The majority of Atheists tend to be on the liberal side of the spectrum.

What did you not understand about "nothing else is implied or may be inferred"?

Of course, I may be wrong. I'll change my opinion as soon as you provide some evidence for your assertion.

Honestly, I'm not into politics or economics, I don't understand most of it. So I don't really know if that is a good "side" to be on? Could someone explain?

HELL YEAH...thats my direction...you are doing fine. You care about society and you are less authoritarian about it.

Left and right wing have nothing to do with your belief in god, breda.

But I myself am left wing.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I am not very far off from being considered right-libertarian myself.

I didn't care for the Nolan Chart... it didn't have the options I wanted for more than half of the questions. Regardless, I was on the upper-left line, 4/5s of the way up the green libertarian diamond. I'll do the other one (I sigh.. again we're doing this?)
Don't see a change, and I hated that test too. So many times I would have answered "I neither agree nor disagree, but the statement was stupid and has no bearing on where I fall politically"... and that is the shortcoming of internet tests like this Smile

Tongue That's the problem with all these quizzes, more often than not I'm psychically arguing with the author about the definition of words.

You're definitely a left-libertarian so far as I can tell, then again you are the most confusing person I know, so you could be a far-right monarchist who just comes off as a left-libertarian.
