It seems pretty clear to me as well. Conservatives are typically coached or at least heavily influenced by their tax exempt churches to hold their version of conservative political dogma.
More often than not,

Atheists tend to be more open-minded. I don't know why. Here in America I might speculate that this is due to atheist's sympathy for homosexuals, being able to relate at least a bit, being that we share being discriminated against.
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
