Why Does Atheism and Left-Wing Politics Usually Go Together?

RE: Why Does Atheism and Left-Wing Politics Usually Go Together?
Capitalism is fantastic whatever way you look at it. Look at the communist revolutions, were they ever successful? No. Cuba; dump. Russia; went broke, corruption inside out(not the reasons Reaganites likes to believe or say, it had been falling apart since the 70's) caused it to stagnate then rot. China, only successful because of Deng Xiaoping's socialist market ideology, ensuring a weird commucapitalist system that stopped the insanity of Maoism. Vietnam is/has going/gone the same way as China.

Even social democracies, the midway-ish point, are based around the capitalist system. It's not perfect (capitalism), but it's a fuck sight better than communism. Work hard, die in a gulag or a shitty dacha no ta!

The only revolution that lives on successfully is the American revolution. The furthest from communism, which allowed capitalism and individuals to thrive. And even with grotesque debts it still thrives in comparison today.
