Well, there's the liberal atheist vote, which is already in the Rat camp. They know good and well that Dummiecrats fake a religion to appeal to the old New Deal voters out there. And, there's the conservative atheist vote (I know, seems like a contradiction in terms to many of you, but we do exist) which worries just as much about the evangelicals imposing their most nonmainstream ideas as they worry about the Mormons imposing theirs.
As a conservative atheist, I have to hold my nose somewhat when voting for a strongly evangelical Republican (voted for Bush the last two elections) it's not much of a stretch to do the same with Romney should he become the nominee. Besides, I can depend heavily on the evangelicals to keep him in check!
But isn’t it refreshing to know someone (me) has given your viewpoint the ‘time of day.’ I was an atheist conservative for almost 20 years....but then again I was also an athiest, Mormon conservative (which is highly unusual)
1) Was been born into, baptized and raised Mormon
2) Came to acknowledge the God of Mormonism could not exist.
3) never tried to, nor did I gain a belief in any other God.
4) The only constant in life is conservatism.
About five years ago, I was introduced to Jesus Christ and God of the Bible. I am now Christian (even though technically I am still Mormon) and conservative.
“Besides, I can depend heavily on the evangelicals to keep him in check!”
That’s an interesting perspective I hadn’t thought about.
