I think Bill Maher would want to strangle you for calling him conservative in any way.

There's no reason for atheists to be "like" other atheists. It's just their take on one issue, not the definition of their life.

Bill Maher may call himself a progressive, but how much does he really want to see that progress? Bernie's political beliefs are the most popular in the US at the moment, and instead of wanting to capitalize on that to see some real change, Maher says that people need to get on board with supporting the Dem next time around, no matter who it is and how horrible the candidate is. Bill doesn't care at all how bad they are. He's not even saying, "Let's try to get the most progressive person in, but if we fail, I guess we have to support the Dem candidate because they're the lesser evil." No. Instead of that he's telling progressives to get over themselves and stop expecting the politicians they support to be anything less than corrupt, lying bastards owned by Wallstreet and the MIC. Maher has no issue with the corruption and doesn't care about progressivism as long as the candidate is slightly better than Trump. That's enough for him. Bernie Sanders supporters are his favourite people to attack.

Perhaps its because the right wing in America has so closely aligned itself with the church.

He's not a conservative. But he doesnt sugarcoat politcal issues as most liberals do usually. Though i am myself not into trying to be offensive, but usually from what i get they tend to do it because if they dont it will 'cause bigots or something. Or that is what i will assume is the reason why they do it.

I am a liberal atheist who thinks Bill Maher is a boorish asshole. He crosses a line of common decency.

That's one of the reasons I like him so much Tongue

Christopher Hitchens was a conservative.

Peter Boghossian (philosophy professor Oregon State) and Sam Harris are not exactly leftist.


Neither is S.E. Cupp, atheist and conservative commentator. But she is also an idiot, because she actually envies believers for their faith based beliefs.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Hitchens-as-conservative......?  What on earth gave you that idea? That's just about as far out of left field as describing Bill Maher as a conservative.

I imagine there are a lot like Bill.  They just don't have their own TV shows.

And you've created five threads?

You need to slow down a bit. Oh, and btw what is a leftleaning (sic) atheist?

One who's either drunk or has only a right shoe?
