RE: “That is the way conservatism is, the religious are political conservatives, while the non religious are overwhelmingly liberal, it is the nature of things.”

Also, “FR is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-marriage, pro-military, pro-traditional American conservatism and it is a privilege to post here.”

Hmmm. I know many VERY religious people who are extraordinarily liberal, and non-religious types who always vote conservative. Go figure...

I’m sure that you see have seen exceptions to a fundamental general fact involving 120,000,000 people, but it doesn’t change the fundamental truth of voting.

The more religious, the more likely conservative, the less religious, the more likely liberal.

Even off the top of your head, do you really think that the atheist vote ever goes conservative?

I don’t know why our fellow Freepers don’t understand the idea that one can be a conservative and not be religious. I was raised in a very strong religion and a deeply conservative family which gave me the moxie to understand right and wrong. I don’t choose to practise religion (I firmly believe faith is a talent like dancing or singing and I don’t got it) because it also came along with a lot of dogma and nasty clergy.
