The [[conservative]] journalist [[Peter LaBarbera]] of [[Americans for Truth]] wrote: "Anyone who has researched the subject of [[homosexuality]] knows that many of the most staunch advocates of homosexuality are those who hold a decidedly secular outlook."<ref>[http://americansfortruth.com/2008/05/03/homosexuality-and-atheism/ Atheism and homosexuality]</ref>At the same time, atheistic [[communism|communist]] regimes in history historically have often taken a negative view of homosexuality and within [[Western World]] atheism, there is a segment of that [[atheist population]] which takes a negative view of homosexuality.
