A simple (or simplistic) move from God, Truth, to man, truth.
If one's inner child, one's soul, is presently not resonating with God, one is Daseinic, here-being, and turns to "man as measure" for all things. Those who are conservative are either successful at what they do, or fearful of change. Those who've decided God isn't in their lives have made a big change. Liberalism, or the church of try-anything materialism, usually appeals to such psychologism more than Main Street, an MBA, and a Rotarian life. E.g., Joseph Stalin began as a Catholic divinity student, abandoned his faith, then after a time of experimenting with all kinds of innovation--a trademark of liberalism--began to be radically conservative, e.g. holding the Russian State as key to his notions of progress, a kind of "Communist Rotarianism."
Try "Gandhi, the Man: The Story of His Transformation," Eknath Easwaran, Ph.D., "Climb the Highest Mountain," Mark Prophet," "The Path of Virtue," Jonathan Murro, "Watch Your Dreams," Ann Ree Colton, "Man, Master of His Destiny," O. M. Aivanhov, and "The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?", Free and Wilcock, and "University of Destruction," David Wheaton, for further perspectives.

Its simply more common for religious individuals to be more conservative, which is generally in line with the Republican party. If you renounce your religious beliefs, you are almost forced out to become a liberal because the church would have expected you to stand up with them against abortion and in regards to gay rights - when you don't, people see you as a liberal.
The problem is not that people who renounce their religious beliefs become the Left, but rather that we insist on marrying religion and government.

I agree you have no propositional basis for this. Just this morning on TV they reported on a poll that said only 7% of Democrats do NOT believe in God. 5% of Republicans do not.
This does not explain where people "go" when they renounce their religion, but maybe they just stay where they were.

That relies upon on your definition of the two words, and likewise upon the issue in touch. i'm an autonomous, politically. i think of maximum folk might say that by using the years, i've got become notably greater liberal in my perspectives.

Change is natural. Liberals are pro-change. Conservatives fear change.

Do you have evidence to support this? Or is this your supposition?
