I dont mind atheists as long as they mind their own business and dont promote it as if it were a religion.
It IS a religion. Everybody has a faith system based on something...even on there NOT being an Almighty God Who created them in their mother's womb.

I dont care what you people say about an athiest. Id have her calling out for God in six minutes. Not guilty!
Slowpoke.

?..why can’t an atheist/agnostic believe in personal liberty...? What would preclude it...?
To: EveningStar
What we see over and over is that strong Christians stick to their guns and have a deeper commitment to conservatism, it is a natural part of their faith and world view, there is a reason that republicans get so few votes from atheists, while the practicing Christians oppose democrats.

The article lost me when it said George Will was a conservative. He speaks to the right on issues of little consequence, but veers left with it matters.
No God = no moral compass.

I'm an atheist, and I'm far more comfortable here than I would be at DU.
The last time I looked at DU, I had to go through a lengthy decontamination process and have my tetanus shot updated.

Will and the other Beltway/New York City faux conservatives aren’t worth the time to read nor listen to their verbage.

I'm not and I am too.

why cant an atheist/agnostic believe in personal liberty...? What would preclude it...?They certainly can. Most people believe that it is inappropriate to steal from or kill others as well, but still we need a higher authority to prohibit those who do not.
Belief that our rights descend from our creator provides an authority on a higher level - not every man or woman elected to higher office may be inclined to hold those truths self evident to us, so the Constitution provides the required clarity.

I read the article. Atheists are still wrong about God, and very often wrong about abortion, constitutionalism, and climate.

Jesus loves atheists too.
That's all I have to say to an atheist.

It all comes down to moral law.
If moral law has no greater source than man, then the nature of that law is necessarily subjective.
In other words—without God, all moral law is nothing more than opinion. There is no ultimate groundwork for individual sovereignty.
