I was raised in a household with no religious belief. My parents however were not hostile to any religious faith or to its members. (In other words, they were not rabble-rousing atheists).
I don’t knowanyone who has no religious doctrine in their background somewhere.
Your grandparents?...were both your folks adopted?
pure atheism just 40-50 years ago was very very rare
someone somewhere dropped the ball of either Christianity or Judaism is my guess..or maybe both
but that is fine..as long as you are not on the offense against my traditions I am glad to have you and yes i do think you can be conservative wihtout being Christian
in fact...socially speaking..several non Christian religion practitioners should be socially conservative if they adhere to teachings including the big boogie bear religion
which brings up a point doesn’t it?
why did Muslims here vote 95% (like tropical africans) for Obama and his pro gay and pro abortion crap?
because identity as a “minority” trumps everything ...for any minority today...well..maybe not Vietnamese but who’s counting
