You could as well say, "Should Christians be welcomed into the conservative movement?"

The religious are not arbiters of who may, or may not be conservative.

Somehow Christians think they own Conservatism. It's something I've only encountered on this site. I find it odd in the extreme.

It's a silly premise.

Oh? Todays religious folks want to impose the word of God, not expose the word of God to those who don't know His message or heed His scriptures.

They are vunerable to socialists convincing them "ends jsutify the means" governments can "do good - isn't that the Christian thinhg?"

Big Ping! Just because many Christian values parallel conservative values does not give anyone ownership of solid principals and valid concepts of government. The fact that many Democrats don't drink the kool-aid of the left also explains why a good number of alleged Democrats vote conservative.

If you're a conservative atheist, upon what premise do you base such beliefs as;

abortion is murder

homosexuality is a sin

stealing is wrong

murder is wrong

??
