Atheism is the foundation of liberalism
Most atheists are liberals and liberalism is all about how they feel sorry for everyone and how they are going to take care of everyone and the environment. They don't want to hear, "That's God's job!" So they have to discredit God first before they can tell you that it's OK for you to get an abortion and help some young teen to get an abortion without the parent's knowledge. ;)

I may not have thought all this through yet because it's 5:30 AM and my need to piss someone off is stronger than my need to get a cup of coffee, wake up and process information. But I'm sure I'll get lots of help from my allies and lots of responses from my enemies, so..... ;) Side: True

Liberalism is the willingness to discard traditional values and an openness to new behaviors and opinions, taken directly from the dictionary. While it can be argued that atheism discards traditional values, or demands openness to new behaviors and opinions, they are not one and the same. Side: Wait..., what..., no!

Main Entry: lib·er·al·ism Pronunciation: \ˈli-b(ə-)rə-ˌli-zəm\ Function: noun Date: 1819 1 : the quality or state of being liberal 2 a often capitalized : a movement in modern Protestantism emphasizing intellectual liberty and the spiritual and ethical content of Christianity b : a theory in economics emphasizing individual freedom from restraint and usually based on free competition, the self-regulating market, and the gold standard c : a political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of the human race, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties; specifically : such a philosophy that considers government as a crucial instrument for amelioration of social inequities (as those involving race, gender, or class) d capitalized : the principles and policies of a Liberal party 0.4-1.6% of Americans are atheists (the studies I looked at differed on whether or not they bothered to listen to what atheists referred to themselves as). I would hardly call atheism the foundation of liberalism considering at best they'd make up about 4% of liberals. Now, if you want to talk about secular philosophy...you know, the ability to entertain a thought without attributing it to God somehow? Side: Wait..., what..., no!

what you are talking about in correlative at best and with correlations you can not say one caused the other and my atheism is based on my studies, and educational endeavors not a misguiding view that it is the only why to help other people. lastly i think this is a case of psychological projection, as most conservatives now a days cannot think of their political POV without automatically identifying their "christian values" don't believe that point look up conservapedia for examples on how they are mixed Side: Wait..., what..., no!
