The Thoughts of a Conservative Atheist

I am relatively new to the Atheist Republic, although I have been receiving email from them for a couple of years. One reason I have not commented on the Forum before is because I am a politically Conservative Atheist and seem to be way out of step with most atheists I see and hear on Twitter and in some of the comments here. I came to atheism later in life and after having lived as a Christian for most of my adult life. I often am more in step with my Christian friends than anyone I know as an atheist. Of course I would probably have a lot less friends if they knew of my lack of belief. Is it a foregone conclusion, that if you are a non believer, you must be a "progressive"? I'm a veteran and I love and support my country. I'm not a big supporter of leftist political ideology and therefore doubt I would be comfortable here for very long. Am I wrong in that opinion?
