As far as atheism is concerned, I stand with the foundering principles of this site stated by Mr. Jim Robison, a brave American Patriot:

Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, PRO-GUN, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America.

Mr. Robinson begins his list with pro-God and I take it to mean that all of the other freedoms flow from that most important foundation. In my opinion, atheism is the path toward unspeakable wickedness including abortion, homosexuality, pedophilia and host of other evils. Even Ayn Rand, held in esteem by some here on FR, was an abortionist...and, of course, an atheist.

I'm with Clear Case Guy and will state my case: Without God and Social Conservatism, there is only liberalism.

Wow...that was a very BAD typo, especially with Jim being a Navy guy. :)

Amen to that. Think about it. Without God, obviously we’d have no God-given unalienable rights. We’d have only the “rights” government decides we should have. That’s the way it was done all throughout history until our founding fathers recognized the “self-evident truth.” America was founded on the principle that all men are created equal by God and granted their unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness... and self-rule. No king. No dictator. No ruler. No king but God.

Without God, we have no life, no rights and no soul. The Marxists, fascists and godless totalitarians of every stripe want it that way. If man has no soul, then he’s no different from an animal. He can be bred, herded, worked and slaughtered like animals. Again, it’s been that way all through history. In our recent history there was Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro and a host of others.

Now we have the godless Marxist/fascist Obama trying to repeat the 30’s. And our younger generations were not taught the truth of history. They have no idea why godless Marxism/fascism should be feared. Forgive them father, they know not what they do.
