Finding Out [Whoever] Believes in God
#19
RE: Finding Out [Whoever] Believes in God
Quote:Is atheism somehow inherently anti-conservative? I'd like to think that it isn't; if I became an atheist tomorrow, why would I have to suddenly vote for Barack Obama--or at least, not vote for, say, Paul Ryan?

It's really hard to argue that atheism and American conservatism have much in the way of compatibility, not because atheism is inherently anti-conservative, but that American conservatism is inherently anti-atheist.

But, of course, there are few absolutes. There are, as an example, the Log Cabin Republicans, gay men and women inexplicably affiliated with a party which seems largely proud of viewing them as less than human.
