Someone posted statistics on voting demographics between left and right. Atheism is a left wing movement, and has been since the French revolution (where the term comes from). I find it ironic that the worldview that has such as small claim to moral authority would be so preoccupied with statecraft depends on some sense of non-subjective ethics by which to govern.
By this logic I could group christianity with spousal and child abuse. Studies bear this out; as religiosity increases, so do instances of both of those things. However, you no doubt have issues with this line of reasoning when it damages your own position.
As it stands, you don't see me grouping those things together, because I'm intellectually honest enough to admit that human experience is nuanced and you can't really put people into groups like that.
Also, you haven't once explained what's so wrong with being a liberal, so... whatever.
