Often "atheist extremest" and "liberal "are often of synonymous, so he is both.
He is a Moonbat, who thinks that only the people who agree with him should be free to choose how they live their lives. Everyone else should be forced to live as he does.

Injuring oneself in such a way is masochistic and a dire cry for attention.
You see, if he did not agree with the school district's decision on renaming the holiday, there were other less harmful and more effective measures he could have taken, such as attending school board meetings, writing letters to the editor of the local paper, contacting legislators, forming a community action group.
The dramatic measures he took of course got him attention, but instead of persuading anybody to his cause, he most likely turned people off, got himself labeled as a "mental case" and his message was lost.
Silly man.

A guy with severe mental issues. He happened to be liberal but it's the same thing regardless of the political thought system.

At least he's got the balls to aflame himself up and not send other people's children to do it for him.
If Bush had burned himself in protest against WMDs don't you think Saddam will have taken the consequences more seriously?

You just know if he had been a Christian protesting the changing of names of Christmas and Easter breaks to winter and spring, atheists would be having a field day.

Niether. He was a man who had self-destructive behavior. Christianity, Atheism, Liberalism and Conservatism all discourage self destruction.

Mental Problems do not need to be pigeon holed into belief structures. Nuts is Nuts.

Did you have to post this two days in a row? Were the answers yesterday not enough for you?
He's just a nutcase. Atheist does NOT equal liberal.

One must question the lucidity of those whom harm themselves.
There are alternative actions one can take to protest against some action.

Just messed up.
I doubt a person who would self-immolate would give much thought to political stance or religion.
