There are no actual atheists who write, let alone visit, this website.
Master with a capital? Seriously?
Yeah first I’ve seen the atheist straw man in the wild. Maybe he DOES need a little Jesus lol
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.
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.
This isn’t real. More propaganda from the right.
I mean it may be but I know a guy who considers himself a militant atheist and proudly parrots all of those points. He’s been screeching about the evil Democrats on Facebook for months. Absolutely insufferable.
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
