Did you want to ask why I believe that? I assume you realize that what I believe about Trump and pretty nearly everything else is independent of my not believing gods have any existence independent of the people's heads who believe in them. Can you think of anything which all atheists must believe in common based only on our not believing in gods?
I think atheists probably have no more varying views than Christians. Maybe even less politically. Since the vast majority are socially liberal, pro-choice, etc. (Myself included) and Christian's in America are more divided on those issues.
Perhaps opting out of religion in a society which is predominantly religious, correlates most often with at least a tolerance for non conventionality, hence more liberal than conservative on the whole. Global summaries like these are slippery at best and probably not worth the bother.
