In reality, none of your choices. Because sad to say, sometimes you can't even distinguish between believers and non-believers. It really all has to do with whether or not you've been born again.

Saved from what exactly? That is the main difference of opinion. The main difference of principle is that many Christians cannot accept that others have a right to choose their own path in life. Christian intolerance (e.g. the Phelps family, most Catholics, Christian Scintists, Moonies and extremists of any denomination) cannot tolerate opinions that differ from their own. Personally homosexuality makes e very uncomfortable. However I tolerate those who make that lifestyle choice as it doesn't impact me at all.
Swearing is just ignorance. Replacing a logical argument with an obscenity is the absence of anything constructive to say about the subject under debate. And on Creation versus Evolution, there is no proof of creation (the bible is no more proof than the Koran is) but there is a lot of evidence for evolution. I side with evolution as nobody has ever proven the existence of a supernatural power (be that god, buddah, allah, thor, zeus or merlin)

There is really not that much difference. There should be.
My 2 best agnostic friends believe in creation.
The political thing is not about conservative vs. liberal, it's who has principles vs. no principles. Democrat leadership used to have principles. Now they antagonize us on the one hand, and try to court us with the other.

Origins
the rest dont have much of a concensus with all christianity or all atheists or even a majority, imo
when it comes to creation vs evolution the majority of christians I would say go with creation and the majority of atheists go with evolution

The primary difference is being saved. Everything else is secondary. True believers want to live for Christ which affects their worldview and the choices they make day-to-day. Your list is primarily about lifestyle choices. Christians will choose differently because they seek to put Christ first, so He is the "filter" through which decisions are made. Non-Christians may make similar choices (albeit for different reasons) but the only thing that makes someone a Christian is being saved by Jesus Christ.

1) I am eclectic in my tastes of music...
2) I do not like it...Do not do it..
3) I spend a great deal of time at the beach when it is warm...
4) Neutral
5) Treat it like a friend... so it will be there when you need it.
6) Private preferrably... many public schools are a mockery.
7) We live in a super-oversexed country/ society...It has gotten to be harmful
8) I would like at least 2-3 kids...
9) Probably conservative...

I would have to say one of the biggest conflicts is origins, creation V evolution. Unfortunately, it's not that black and white. There are many shades of gray when it comes to our beliefs about where the human race, and all life on Earth for that matter, came from. It is not simply creation V evolution.

I would say origins- creation vs evolution because in order to believe in the creation you have to believe in a creator and God is the creator. Evolution is man's way of denying God.

This is a good question. I would have to say origins, but the whole choice of president throws a wrench in it. Sometimes I know it is hard for many christians to seperate themselves from politics. It is truely sad, but I would still have to say origins followed closely by president.
