Yep but it should be the other way around. A democracy does not really protect minority rights, it is just a system where 50% of the population plus one rules and 50%-1 is ignored. In a Republic though each region has local sovereignty. A small atheistic state can rule itself even if all the other states are fundamentalist Christians. The Christian states cannot overrule the one atheist state. But it seems to be the other way around, atheists have fondness for democracy.

No, actually most of the real Christians I know are Democrat. The ones who are Christian and vote Republican mostly do so because of the "abortion issue". (Which is not a good reason to vote for a political party) I am a Christian Democrat. I do think the entire political process here in America is corrupt but I am Democrat because it is the lesser of two evils.

That would be difficult to prove one way or another, but you can be assured that the GOP has spent a great deal of time and money making sure that us average schmoos believe that the Democrats are a bunch of atheist thugs.

I'm a conservative Atheist. Well, I would be Libertarian if the party ever stood a chance, but I generally vote Republican. This is a financial platform, though, and not a social one. As I am a social democrat. I simply think that Conservative economics makes sense, and Democrat "centralization" of currency is destined to devalue the dollar and make all of us poorer.

I don't identify with either party and feel the control is the same from wealthy and powerful sources regardless of which side of the ultimatum is elected. this facade I believe is only part of the facade designed to manipulate the people with out them realizing it. Some call it the two headed snake.

You would have to think that abortion is okay,,,gay rights are needed...gay marriage should be acceptable,,,among other things that go against God...to be a Democrat...that is their platform.......that is what they fight for....
So, yes most Christians are Conservative Republicans...we believe in the bible for the most part...although we do have Arnold S and The Mayor of America among us for some reason....I think Arnold believes in less Government...not sure why the Mayor is with us....
As for atheists,,,I think they can fall into either party....since they don't believe in God,,they could be happy with the Democrats..but some are against abortion,,,gay rights etc...so either party....for them.

You may have a point. I don't know the stats. But this is one Atheist that has never been a Democrat and from what I see right now, there isn't possibility of change. Presently, I don't think much of Bush and his administration, I think a whole lot less of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and theirs.

It would depend upon the individual in question. I'm a Christian who wants nothing to do with the GOP, while an atheist co-worker of mine is a staunch Republican.

I don't think it does. But I've seen a remarkable # of Fundy Christians say a Christian must be a republican. I think it's the real Fundy Christians are the problem. They give the OK ones a bad name.

That might be true for the majority, but I have met and read the works of several atheists that have very Libertarian mindsets, the same is true for Christians that have a very liberal view of things.
