And are the subject of constant derision and scorn. Have you thought that maybe one reason atheists tend to be liberals is that atheism is accepted by liberals and often derided by conservatives? Why should I join a group that says I'm immoral pond scum?
I know that not all religious conservatives think that way, only a majority. But I don't knock those who would accept a conservative atheist due to that majority.
I don’t know where you are trying to go to, I merely pointed out that atheists are overwhelmingly liberal.
Atheism and liberalism is a natural match, just as religious Americans are overwhelmingly conservative.
