I don’t doubt there are atheist conservatives but I do doubt the motives of agenda atheists who need to proclaim their atheism.

[Jim Robinson]

This is not your father’s ACU. CPAC be damned.

[xzins]

Conservatism is incompatible with atheism.

Atheism is amoral and directionless.

Conservatism has morality, meaning, purpose, and direction....all from God.

[Heartlander]

The US Constitution assumed all human rights were bestowed to us by our Creator through Natural Law . How would our Declaration of Independence look without our ‘Creator’?

We hold no truths to be self-evident, that all (men) are evolved based on chance, that they are endowed by a mindless chemical process from a mindless universal algorithm with uncertain inalienable illusions that among these are a delusion of life, and the pursuit of happenstance.

[Zionist Conspirator]

The most important thing about atheism isn't that it's the enemy of America or of conservatism, but that it's just plain WRONG.

[Dr. Thorne]

"This is a rebellious people,
Lying children,
Children who will not hear the law of the Lord;
Who say to the seers, “Do not see,”
And to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us right things;
Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.
Get out of the way,
Turn aside from the path,
Cause the Holy One of Israel
To cease from before us.”

Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel:

“Because you despise this word,
And trust in oppression and perversity,
And rely on them,
Therefore this iniquity shall be to you
Like a breach ready to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant.
And He shall break it like the breaking of the potter’s vessel,
Which is broken in pieces;
He shall not spare." - Isaiah 30:9-14

Atheism is intellectually inferior to belief in God.

[secretsexposed89]

I would rather have atheists who support limited government than religious people who do not in politics. I do not know that I would want their viewpoint on religion promoted. However, one of the tenants of America is that one is free to believe and worship in whatever way one sees fit. So maybe a bit of a catch-22, but I would rather have them sharing conservative ideals as opposed to liberal ones.

[Slyfox]

Two years later, in his Evil Empire speech, Reagan declared: "We will never abandon our belief in God."

When Reagan spoke he did so as in "We the people" not as a tyrant like Obama.

We the people will never abandon our belief in God, no matter what entity presumes to speak for us.

[afsnco]

I doubt most atheists are truly atheists.

An atheist is “one who believes there is no deity.” That’s an unprovable statement of faith, whether they choose to admit it or not. The only way they could prove their belief is if they were God Himself, able to be everywhere and everywhen simultaneously, to confirm He’s nonexistent.

I think in reality most of them are agnostics, if they were pinned down.

But Reagan understood, like our Founders before him, that obedience to God is a national security issue. We were obedient for most of our history, conforming our laws to God’s commands, and we were richly blessed for that obedience, going from a tiny republic of 13 states to a continental superpower. Neither that obedience nor those blessings were accidents. But for the past few decades we’re rejecting God’s commands in favor of depravity, and those blessings have been withdrawn. Our formerly rich and prosperous nation is now teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Neither that disobedience nor that wrath are accidents either. But the spiritually insane will never understand these things. They’re foolishness to them:

1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But do those Buckley and Chambers quotes reflect what's going on in today's world?

And what happened to Ron, Jr.?

[Gene Eric]

Atheists are idiots.

[Clemenza]

Reagan attended church with his mother, but stopped attending as an adult, long before his Presidency. William Howard Taft did not believe in Jesus’s divinity. Don’t make me bring up Thomas Jefferson.

[Darren McCarty]

Even if I didn’t believe in God, I couldn’t be an athiest. The spokesmen they have are more arrogant the worst of the stereotypical thumpers. Instead of “you are going to hell” it’s “we’re enlightened, and unless you agree with me on everything, you’re not”.

[Pelham]

Just one more reason to have nothing to do with the ACU and CPAC.
