Are atheists more likely to be liberal and/or democrat? US?

Question

Just wondering.... I mean since our President believes that God told him to be president, and most republican social policies are religious based ( like get rid of the fags), do atheists consider themselves liberal and/or democrat?

Answer 1

I'm a somewhat liberal, largely left wing, Democratic-ish Christian that was told by a Republican Christian that Democrats can't be Chrisitans just yesterday. Sorry I'm not athiest, but I had to just voice my outrage. Republicans do not portray the morals and standards of Christians all that honestly - not that Jesus would choose a side. He was on everyone's side to a certain extent even gays and abortionists.

Answer 2

Xians tend to be Republicans because the Conservatives play to the lie that we are a xian nation.

Democrats tend to be more inclusive of all people (including atheists) and respect the rights of every citizen. Dems don't give preferential treatment to anyone based on where they go to church or which version of god they believe in.

Republicans and xians spend alot of time bashing atheists so therefore they cannot expect support from the millions of atheists, agnostics or the nonreligious.

Answer 3

it really is a question of stability. rules too some distance left or too some distance correct will harm a u . s . a .. correct wing rules make a u . s . a . a recommend and nasty position the position in basic terms the fittest will prosper. on the different hand liberal rules might want to be risky to stability too if it turns into too effortless to tear-off the gadget. Of both i trust this is better to be too liberal than too correct wing. contained in the U. S. the paralysis on the federal element as a results of branch in opinion between conservatives and liberals is what's hurting the country. different countries contained in the international which have liberal / socially accountable rules (e.g. Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Canada, Australia rank a lot more effective on the size of livability than the U. S. does, helping the concept liberal rules do not inevitably harm a u . s . a .. on the different hand the U. S. -- frequently as a results of Republican states or republican administration of Congress -- is a u . s . a . the position the wealthy are extra and extra reaping benefits from rules/rules, social mobility is extra and extra confusing (compared to what maximum human beings imagine), the adverse and center type are in possibility of financial disaster as a results of lack of low cost conventional wellbeing care, public education is second fee, the warfare on drugs has led to the optimal incarceration stages contained in the international, and social courses (medicare, medicaid, social protection, psychological and tutorial help in case you like it, relations making plans/abortion, and so on) -- that by and vast income the decrease and center type -- are extra and extra threatened. And all too oftentimes for non secular or correct wing ideological causes. positive there is abuse of those courses ... and it ought to be decreased ... yet failure to handle the purposes of the deprived and adverse will assure the failure of the U. S. as a u . s . a ..

Answer 4

A greater proportion, yes, but that might be just correlation with higher intelligence and greater education and atheism and voting choice.

Andrea_Jenk thinks that since I am an atheist, I don't value human life. Hateful people like this are present very good reasons to remain an atheist.

Answer 5

Agnostic here

I'm somewhat liberal (gay rights, pro choice, all that good stuff) and somewhat conservative (I like tax cuts, some conservative policies)

I voted Republican a bit more than Democrat last year, my first year of voting.

Answer 6

Independent! Because I will vote for someone who cares about everyone in this Country. Not just the "rich" and "religious right".

Answer 7

Democrat = liberal; Liberal = Democrat. I can see no difference.

Answer 8

I would think so. I am a Christian and tend to vote Republican, but I look at the candidates and vote for what they stand for.

Answer 9

I would say most atheists tend to be liberal but I'm not an expert on the topic. Atheists are weird

Answer 10

I would go with "yes" on that. I'm a Christian and I personally am republican because conservative views coincide with my moral beliefs. For example: I don't believe in abortion. I believe that every life was created by God and has value... no matter how young it is. Athiests don't put the same value on human life. We came from slime... it was all an accident... who cares. Everything goes back to what your basic beliefs are.
