I would say at least in the west, with the less religious or flat out atheists, IN THE WEST, liberals in general both theists and atheists lean to a more empathetic view on their fellow humans. I do not agree that god is needed to have that empathy, but I certainly am quicker to side with a liberal theist than I am say, an Ayn Rand or Che supporting atheist.
