an atheist can be a conservative, but a hater of Christianity cannot be a conservative...so...only atheists who are tolerant in the best sense of the word.

that said, i think this category of conservative is quite small.

As a conservative atheist, I would agree that tolerance is needed, if not required, in great measure. After a lifetime of mom trying to cram military protestantism (I'm a navy brat) down my throat, I'm pretty sick of religion in general. But I think that the operative word in your post was "hater". Haters, in my experience have short views on life.

We're not as small a group as you think.
