→Does an atheist conservative have any place here?
::::Yeah... no. Osama bin Laden was a mixed bag of ideologies, and any attempt to pile him neatly into one camp or another will fail. Anyway, it would appear that the short answer to Katie's question would be no. --[[User:DonnyC|DonnyC]] 01:27, 3 May 2013 (EDT)

:::::We're all a mixed bag if we're going to be perfectly honest... I'd be willing to bet literally anything I own, assuming participant was somehow guaranteed to answer honestly, that in a double blind study no two editors on this site would give exactly the same answers to a given test of political/moral/social views and give the same "weight" to each topic's relative importance. No matter how conservative one claims to be, (or conversely, how liberal they are accused of being) everyone views the world slightly differently. There should be a place here for everyone who considers themselves conservative. Who are we to judge what is in another's heart? [[User:Fnarrow|Fnarrow]] 01:39, 3 May 2013 (EDT)

KatieKomori, you wrote: "With regards to all the things you posted, pornography, sex before marriage, homosexuality, etc, I don't really care about any of that, nor does any other conservative I know." That is because your so-called conservative friends are faux conservatives! Second, you still haven't shown me that atheism is more traditional than theism. Atheists have always been a minority in the world - especially before the 1700s (see: [[Paul-Henri Thiry]]. And now atheists are shrinking as a percentage of the world's population. See: [[Decline of atheism]]. The religion of atheism is not traditional/conservative. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 01:56, 3 May 2013 (EDT)
