In the US, most atheists abandon Judao-Christians principles and embrace modern leftism which is based on secular-humanism and neo-Marxism.
This is a terrible trend that will make America less tolerant, less prosperous and less free.

The Religion News Service reports that, to go along with the jump, just 60 percent of Americans now identify as religious, down from 73 percent the last time the Global Index of Religiosity and Atheism poll was taken seven years ago. The decline has also been felt in many other countries around the world, including double-digit drops in several European and North American countries.

Most who consider themselves to be Christian are not, so in reality while 1 in 20 is realitively small, those Americans who genuinely follow Christ is shockingly small compared to those who claim to!
I found it sad the other day reading the responses of those who answered the question:- "Are you proud to be a Christian" that the leading respondent couldn't do so without turning it into a political comment!

Besides your comment is irrelevant because there is no question of Art as an atheist being unable to discuss any topic or issue he likes!
As an atheist and 1 in 20 he brings a unique perspective to the discussion well done Art and but out Kozmo!
I have Asperger's & often mis-read things (or 'read between the lines').

I respond to what I see, some people on this site are nearly blind, others have ingrown toe nails, still other have dodgey hearts!
How do you want me to treat you?
If you come to a site such as SH it can get rough at times!
We all have personalities which are not perfect!
May God bless!
Due to my condition (actually ALL have [Caetextia q.v.], more or less), BOTH parties keep mis-reading the context of what each say. Just a little patience & consideration if I go off-track (be Relative too, please).

Braise the Lard!
Art holds in common with atheists a belief in evolution!
That's why I questioned him on atheism which he ignored!
Where do you get that from? None of my atheist friends have adopted any extreme leftist ideology. In fact, most of them are actually either moderate independents or Ron Paul supporters.

The most intolerance I have seen has come from Christians (I am not saying all). I am agnostic but I support and defend the freedom of religion. Whether it be with homosexuality or Muslims, far right Christians have not shown much tolerance to begin with.
Atheists are less tolerant??? Do you see them doing this??
than many Fundamentalists. I'm a Pan[En]Deist, an intermediary.
For America to become the totalitarian dictatorship liberals dream about religion and free will must be among the first casualties
Marx didn't create Atheism, moron.
