With a few exceptions, like Ayn Rand, many of the politically right-leaning atheists I have have heard, seen, or met seem too quiet on pushing for secular values. While I can understand their shared goal of free-market economics with the religious right, they are too reluctant to take on and advocate for secular social values like the separation of church and state and the right to marriage for gays. Side: Yes
I don't know if "too soft" would be my choice of words, but yes. People think that if you are on the right, you must be a Christian. As such most right wing Christians think they should legislate what their biblical dictates tell them. This is a junk position in a diverse nation which ideally values freedom. We have the left which values social freedom but not economic freedom, the right is just the inverse. How are these our only two choices?! Wow, this topic actually got me a little emotional. Side: Yes
