For all of you who don't know her Sarah Elizabeth Cupp is an American conservative atheist (conservative an atheist yeah right those two terms are contradictions but anyway) political commentator and writer.
She is on Fox News all the time talking about how only Christians have morals. Really. She wrote Why You're Wrong about the Right: Behind the Myths and Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media's Attack on Christianity.
Quotes of hers.
"I haven't closed the door on faith, it just hasn't found me yet"

"I really aspire to be a person of faith one day"

"I am, but I'm not a militant atheist, I've never really understood the angry atheist"

"I'm envious of the faithful, so I defend the faithful, especially the Christian-Right in America at every opportunity I get"

"I have a great respect for the religious right ... and a great respect for people of faith"

"I'm a fan of George Bush, I think he had a conviction, personal principles that require him to answer someone else when he went to bed at night... I don't see the same kind of reverence in some of our other recent presidents, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton included. That gives me comfort as a citizen, knowing that my president is going to bed answering to a higher power ... I really respect that"

So excuse my language when I say that:
SHE AIN'T NO F*****G ATHEIST!


I'm a little em what's the word….. oh yeah "Disgusted"

Of what she says, is and represents.

I don't see any contradiction between conservatism and atheism. I'm economically conservative and I'm an atheist, and I've met atheists who are socially conservative, the prime example being my father in law (and he is a very strong atheist, completely certain, when my mum is away he bashes religion all the time)

Atheism is a lack of belief or belief that no gods exist. Conservatism is a political orientation. Atheism is not a political orientation at all. Both are not exclusive.

But I do agree that woman is not an atheist, more like some religious propaganda and such

If she's an atheist, I'm an evangelical and I somehow entered bizarro world.

Gee wiz, and here I thought atheism is simply the lack of belief in a god or gods. Silly me, you must also be politically liberal to be an atheist.

You can be a conservative atheist. It's just that most aren't. Not that she's much of an atheist. I'm not even sure why she'd claim to be one when she says things like that.

And you are right. There is no obligation for an atheist to be politically liberal, that's just a stereotype, just like some Christians can be socialists. I don't have an obligation to be a liberal just because I'm an atheist, in fact I'm economically and fiscally conservative as I have already stated several times, despite being socially liberal, but the later is an orientation I opted for because of my conscience and principles, not because of my atheism.

I hope you don't mind if I respond you with a video.



However I support your right to choose the political faction or ideology that you desire. But I just want to point out the contradictions that I find in conservatism and atheism(Well technically showing you a video that I claim points my views on that topic). Nevertheless I thank you for clarifying your opinion on that woman. But in which our political views stands for I think is better to agree that we disagree.

Hahahaha!

Sorry I'm not laughing at you seriously..
Sorry if I offended you is just that.
That's actually a thing.

In europe a conservative is not a republican (in europe a republican is simply someone who thinks a republic is better than a monarchy) so I guess we're not referring to the same type of political orientation. But on a broad sense, there's nothing stopping an atheist from being a conservative, maybe just not the american type. I always get these misunderstandings between me and americans because for me conservatism is largely different and in europe it equals american democrats

The main problem with Mehta's analysis is the assumption that there is some major difference between mainstream Democrats and mainstream Republican beneath the veneer, which serves no real ideological purpose except to ascertain the most number of votes in any given district.

She's an actor on an entertainment network. More power to her, take that shit all the way to the bank.
