So, I've been wondering how some Atheists can be Conservatives. If you're a Conservative Atheist, hear me out before you go on a rant about how Atheism has nothing to do with politics.

Let's start out with a very easy subject: Separation of church and state. Modern Conservatism was built and founded on Ronald Reagan, or as Conservatives would say, emperor, chancellor, king, almighty, saint, demigod, Ronald Reagan. You know, the guy who started off his Presidency by trying to make prayer in public schools mandatory. The guy who would make a huge deal out of Christmas and the fact that it is a Christian holiday (it isn't). Ever since then, Republicans have always been (or pretended to be) evangelicals, and they have tried to break our first amendment right to separation of church and state.

But let's say you don't care about Republicans indoctrinating your children. What about Marriage equality? Republicans are clearly against gay marriage, and as Atheists, we know that Homosexuality is natural. The only reason they are against Gay marriage is that their precious book says it's a sin.

But let's say you don't care about Republicans indoctrinating your children and discrimination against homosexuals. What about Abortion? We clearly know that a fucking Zygote isn't a human being, so why would you be Anti-Choice? The only reason Republicans believe zygotes are fully developed human beings is that their precious book says so, not because there is any scientific evidence to back up their claim.

But let's say you don't care about Republicans indoctrinating your children, discrimination against homosexuals, and discrimination against Women. What about gun control? Why would you possibly be against banning assault weapons (not all guns) and universal background checks? We clearly know that these policies prevent deaths, so why be against it? Doesn't this help the case of Christians who claim that you're immoral?

But let's say you don't care about social issues and you are conservative on health care and economic issues. Why would you be in favor of the free market system that clearly isn't working, when there is an obvious way to fix this? Why would you support trickle-down economics, which never worked, lower minimum wages, more war, and military spending, etc?

But let's say you don't care about Republicans indoctrinating your children, discrimination against homosexuals and women, murder, and economic collapse. Why would you support these anti-Climate Change politicians who take money from oil companies? How can you vote for the people who are literally ending the world?

But let's say you don't care about Republicans indoctrinating your children, discrimination against homosexuals and women, murder, economic collapse, and the end of the world. Why? Why identify as Conservative if you're Liberal on most issues?

That's about all I have to say, let me know what your thoughts are down below.
