Why do almost all atheists vote democrat?

God is in favor of locking up Christians who commit crimes against God. God is even in favor of putting Christians to death who commit offences worthy of death. But, unlike men, God is not fooled by those who falsely claim to be Christians when they are not.

So let god come down and do it. This notion that people should be out doing the work for some "omnipotent" deity is pretty absurd. Any one of the many deities throughout the various faiths could make an appearance and sort all of this out, but none do.

Why is it absurd? Do you know why we are here? If so, enlighten us.

Do atheists tend to support republicans or democrats? The indication is that atheists support democrats over republicans by a wide margin. There are reasons for that and anyone interested in finding out why should have no problem unearthing those reasons.

Could it be that Republicans tend to be less educated?

I said I had not met any, not that they dont exist, and you came along with a link that showed the vast majority of atheists are on the left. Which strangely enough, is the point of the OP. Now that you have proven his point and mine, what is it you are arguing about?

Clearly you are not interested in a civil discussion. You told a lie when you said that 3/4 of atheists voted Democratic, when in fact it was approximately 2/3. :shrug:

What's more amusing is you think you have the standing to call me out after you refuse to admit and correct your lie. :lol: I thought Christians believed that lying is morally wrong? Or are some of them entitled to exceptions? ;)

I have no idea why we are here, or how we got here. The difference is I don't need to invent or follow stories for that answer. The truth is no one does, but certain quell that lack of knowledge in the stories people from the past invented to allay the fears that arise from uncertainty.

That is not a lie. That is barely a fudge.

What is a lie is you saying he is not interested in civil discussion when you are the hostile party. You compound that with multiple religious slurs.

Why do almost all atheists vote democrat?

I dunno, why do almost all theocrats vote Republican?
Theocrats despise the democratic process itself and want to install a one party biblical authoritarian theocracy, similar to the system in place in Iran.
Just swap out the Allah for Jesus and there you have it, biblical government in a formerly secular democratic constitutional republic.

One party, the Party of "God".
And only the theocrats in charge get to decide which is the "one true faith" and who "God" really is.
By the way, the name "Hezbollah" translates literally into "Party of God".

PS: The oligarchy is already in place - - it's the folks you guys conveniently ignore...the ones paying off porn stars.

If you do not know why we are here, why do say it is absurd that an omnipotent God wishes us to do things? You immediately revert to form by stating that you know the truth. Plato said that truth was unknowable.

It is clear that you are hostile to the concept of a deity with an interest in humanity. But a little civility is expected and you are not complying.

So your issue is whether it is 2/3 or 3/4?? Thats a stupid hill for you to die on, but whatever. And I didnt lie. Perhaps you should look up words like that before you (mis)use them. The fact remains that you provided evidence that the vast majority of atheists are on the left. I can live with that. Can you?

Regardless of education level, magical thinking and cult-like adulation are core enough to the GOP's current functioning that the OP question answers itself.

It matters here. You know why? Because of a reason which is in the source which you deliberately and intentionally refused to click on, because in the back of your mind you know that there's something in there that destroys your sophomoric argument. :)

You still don't get it. You still believe that you are entitled to question other people's words (and to do a miserably bad job at that) while having your own words immune from scrutiny. :shrug:

Ironic that someone would be doing this in a discussion about religion. :lol:

Sounding more and more like Iran every minute. Will there be chopping off hands and heads, too? Will it be in public?
Will there be stonings and whippings?

I didnt click on it because you summarized it for me. And you pointing out that only 1/4 of atheists voted republican proves my point and the point of the OP. You just havent figured that out yet. Or maybe you have but arent man enough to admit it.

That makes no sense whatsoever. You are just desperate now.

And here comes the projection. :lol:

Let me help you. You said, and I quote:

So 3/4 voted for the democrat.

You said that. You made that number up. The source, which you stubbornly refused to read, clearly says approximately 2/3.

At best, you seem to think that 2/3 is approximately equal to 3/4. I wonder what grade level a teacher would let that slide? ;)
 
Well, if this is true, it makes perfect sense to history.

- The GOP began to gravitate towards a Christian base in the 1950s. Despite this, it was a Democrat who sponsored a resolution to add the words "Under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1953; and it was the Democrat-led Eighty-fourth United States Congress in 1955 that pushed "In God We Trust" towards Eisenhower for signing into law. (Big tent, Fletch).

- But during the Civil Rights Marches, the GOP began to look more and more like a Conservative white Christian's club; and the DNC became more and more a club for minorities and only liberals. There's a reason all the evangelicals of the 1980s and beyond have sat comfortably on the right side of the spectrum.

This would naturally not leave much space on the Right for atheists who prefer to leave "God" out of politics. By the way, this also helps to explain why it seems like Conservatives hate Muslims more than Liberals; and why Conservatives are far more obnoxious in their blind support for Israel than Liberals. Religious identity is a factor.

Do we think that an atheist cares about tying "God" to Israel or tying "God" to abortion? Dur.

You mean like that 'magical thinking' that says government can cure climate change and provide free college and free healthcare for all and that socialism, this time, will lead to prosperity for everyone? Whatever you say, Houdini

An Atheist is someone who typically has thought long and hard about the evidence and come to a conclusion

A Theist is someone who typically has not thought about the evidence, take the same religion and thought processes as his/her parents and never challenges what they've been told.


Atypical Republican in a white male, with no college education who has an average income but still thinks himself special because he lives in the greatest country in the world. He flies the US flag and votes for the same party his father did (probably goes to the same church too).

Um, the 3/4 number came from you posting that 'nearly 1/4 voted for Trump.' That you are now quibbling that the number isnt 3/4 but closer to 2/3 is just desperation on your part. The fact remains and is proven by you and your link, that the vast majority of of atheists are on the left. Thank you. We agree.

False. Everyone believed in God back then.

You dont have to be a Christian to support Israel or oppose abortion. Sorry to have to pop your simple minded bubble.
 
Assuming it's true that almost ALL atheists do vote democrat, (and I have no reason to doubt it because it just makes sense) I would imagine some of the reasons for that are as follows:

1. Most atheists are free thinkers. A person not likely to follow suit or succumb to peer pressure and adhere to thoughts and beliefs that they can not settle in their own mind. The person most likely to be the first one to shout out "Look! The Emperor has no clothes!"

2. Atheists, in my opinion, seem to take an antagonistic approach to those who persecute them for not following the status quo in regards to religious belief. (Such as the OP in this thread is trying to do.) They would probably have a huge dislike for the Salem witch hunters or Taliban extremists too. (Or southern baptists. LOL!)

3. Atheists seem to become personally offended when they are ridiculed for not believing the accepted myths, beliefs and outright fairy-tales that most religions offer. They get testy when their intelligence is insulted. Expecting an atheist to put their faith in what an otherwise logical, person of facts and physics, would regard as poppycock, tends to insult their intelligence.

Since the Republican side of the political spectrum tends to be the opposite of the atheists, it just makes perfect sense that atheists would not support that side of the aisle. Since most people who degrade atheists, believe in outlandish fairy tales and blindly follow the pack are in the Republican party, why would an atheist vote Republican? Perhaps they only vote democrat because it's the only other option?
