There are no actual atheists who write, let alone visit, this website.

Master with a capital? Seriously?

    I knew a conservative atheist. I didn’t realize he was conservative when I met him. But when he started attacking a progressive Christian friend of mine on a Facebook post I made, talking about the “woke mind virus,” I unfriended his ass real quick.

    There are people from every ideological background who are suckers and fall for shit. Atheists are not some perfect paragon of intellect and virtue.

    Certainly, the whole idea is that theistic belief is separate from morality after all.

    And yet examples are remarkable. The one you met wouldn’t have been memorable otherwise. At a guess, it’s rare because atheism is the kind of hair-shirt or “kick me” sign that actual assholes rarely choose, as it tends to require a fair amount of introspection.

    But I have known a handful of assholes who go around telling everyone they’re an asshole, as if the negative attention is the point. Usually I associate that behavior with baggage related to abandonment and rejection.

    In that case, conservatism and other socially maladaptive ideologies might be secondary to unresolved trauma, shame, fear, and self-hate. And for that, therapy is the only solution I know, not religion.

    I met so many conservative rural people who were convinced that universities were just liberal indoctrination centers. Never put two brain cells together that by being around other people from different backgrounds and cultures you learn to respect those differences - you know - liberal values.

    And being forced to back up your arguments with actual evidence, not whatever idiocy your friends and social media are telling you.

    Evidence is just a fancy word for opinion, right?

    No, evidence is evidence. Not all things are a debate between two or more legitimate interpretations.

    Saying "climate change is real and caused by humans" or the "sky is blue" are statements of fact, and not up for debate.

    Guess I should have used /s.

    It's, in my experience, the 'universities are liberal/woke indoctrination centres' folks are also the ones whom have issues with grasping the difference between evidence, facts and opinions.

    This isn't real. More propaganda from the right.

    If you call yourself an atheist conservative, you are basically just telling everyone that you are evil. You don't hate trans people because you fear eternity in hell or some shit, you are just trash.

    Anyone calling a politician's rise to power a "glorious victory" is a walking, talking red flag

    the one above the blue is too funny.. '...government appointments will be selected according to merit'.

    by what criteria? who gives better head? who has putin on a 1-button speed dial? or actual qualifications and successful experience?

    'Atheist Conservatives' are as mythological as a petrohyherodron.

    As an atheist, you can be an atheist and a complete moron, as evidenced by conservative atheists.

    All being atheist does, is mean you do not believe in one of the most obvious bullshit scams in the world, but it doesn't mean you are some 5D enlightened guru.

    This is one of the items:

    "Freedom to Pray", i.e. "we will support bringing back prayer to our schools".
