Many Athesit say as well as many web-sites that Atheist are merly a cross-section of Americans, doctors, lawyers, brick layers etc.
We know that about 50% of Americans are conservative Republicans..in fact 80% of Americans favor a Ban on Gay Marriages.
So simple math should tell us that 50% of Atheist
are (according to atheist web-sites) Conservative Republicans & 80% are against Gay-Marriages.
I'd like to hear from the Conservative Republicans atheist who are against same sex marriages.
Please speak up...you cross-section of Americans.
NOTE: Please NO rants why you are forced to a liberal because of the unfair Bush administration..bla, bla, bla...so NO liberals,
just the conservative-athiest who favor a ban on
same same marriages as 80% of us do.

How about we see where your getting your stats from, as 90% of stats are just pulled out of someone's ***.
In case your curious, according to the tests I've take I lean left a bit, but not much. Don't suppose you consider moderate a possibility, though, do you? I like to make my decisions on major issues myself, party lines be damned. How terrible of me.

Your grasp (or lack thereof) of statistics is alarming. Really, you sound like a moron.
Atheists represent some cross sections of america, and are more prevelant in some areas compared to others. Most tend to be liberal democrats, but some are liberatarians (like myself) or even a few Republican.
You will find almost no atheists who support a same-sex marriage ban, despite your idiotic statistical claim that they exist. Not having a dogmatic reason to oppose homosexuality, the vast majority of atheists beleive it is an essential matter of fairness.
And you 80% rule on gay marriage is way off, it is more like 50-50 these days. Seriously, take a statistics course and take notes, please.

Not all conservatives are against same-sex marriage. My mom's a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, and she's for it. Then there are the Log Cabin Republicans, or gay Republicans.
Also, about 50 percent of Americans who *voted* are conservative Republicans, which is not the same as 50 percent of all Americans.
Why are you being so hostile and defensive?

Your argument is flawed. A cross-section in terms of professions, race, etc., does not imply a universal cross-section in regard to beliefs. If it did, then 80% of atheists would also be theists.
Although personally, I don't see whether it matters that atheists represent a cross-section or not, so I'm not sure why people would feel it important to make such a claim.

Not really, I haven't met any stupid atheists. I wish I could say the same about christians. And do you really believe that all those adulterous, graft taking,liars who are elected as republican senators and congressmen believe in any sort of afterlife at all I've got a brand spanking new bridge in the middle of nowhere Alaska for sale just to you.

You're statistics are skewed. 80% of those people POLLED favor a ban on same-sex marriage.
If you make sure the pollees are all from the bible belt, chances are you'll get a lot of brainless morons who follow whatever the local preacher or what ever the local con-man calls himself.
See how that works?

You had a good question, until you continued to rant.. YES, Athiests are a cross section of America, a very small cross section!

Mr. Let's Talk - I have a spot of News for you - statistics can be bent to prove any point you want. Did you know that marriage is the number one cause of divorce???
Seriously, lets talk - give me one GOOD reason why gays shouldnt be allowed to marry. One reason - thats all I am asking for. Lets debate this....
