Yeah, and you also said that's the biggest problem with atheism. That is a really dumb argument.
For starters, anyone with half a brain would support "the state," as in the idea that we should have a government and not be running around like it's Mad Max: Fury Road in real life.
Secondly, support for "bigger government" -- which, I've found, "rightists" tend to define rather nebulously -- does not equate to "replacing god with the state." That's some of the dumbest twaddle I've ever read in my life.
Find an argument that isn't peurile idiocy designed to slam "leftists" for once.
Of course it does. Many religious folk believe that abortion should be illegal, for example. Most of this comes from a moral code which says that any life, even life in the womb, is a life which is deserving of individual rights. They say to abort a baby is equal to murder which is a sin in god's eyes.
The left overwhelmingly however believes that a woman is "control of her own body" and use the state (as opposed to god) to implement or reinforce there views. There are other examples, some of which that are probably better, but this one came to me off the top of my head.
