→Conservative Atheists
What I want to know is why this article willfully ignores conservative atheists like myself who are the silent majority of atheists. It seems to me that you are attempting to make every Atheist seem like Richard Dawkins which is not true. I despise that man. Yes what you say may be true for LIBERAL atheists but not of conservative atheists. While I am fervently on the right, to the point where my ideology could make half the Republican congress seem like communists, articles like this make me sick of some of my "political comrades." If you want to attack liberal atheists I support you all the way but don't generalize. In my country, most of the socialists are Christian, that doesn't mean that I instantly call all Christians socialists. I think this website better decide who it wants to attack: Liberals or fellow conservatives. [[User:Ryancsh|Ryancsh]] 19 May 2013 21:43 GMT

::Ryansch, I am willing to collaborate with you on a [[Atheism and politics]] article which could be partly or wholly inserted in the main atheism article. It has to be factual though and cannot make unsupported assertions such as atheist conservatives are the silent majority. Every claim must have a citation too. I cannot give you a timetable on when it will be inserted though but I did pledge to the owner of Conservapedia that I would create or help create such an article and insert some of its content into the main article. Please also create a [[Secular left]], [[Atheism and libertarianism]], etc. etc. articles too if you are so inclined. Also, is the second paragragh of the [[atheism]] article true? If not, why not?

:::I would be glad to help create an [[Atheism and politics]] as well as a [[Secular left]] article. Unless I have misunderstood the question, I believe you are referring to the paragraph dealing with the link between the 1917 Bolshevik revolution and Atheism. It is true that The Bolsheviks were militant atheists as well as the radicals in the french revolution. However, I would like to point to their reasons. Communism was only Atheist because it saw religion as a threat. Any totalitarian state wants to destroy any and all opposition. It should be noted that the Orthodox Church used to be fervent supports of the Tsar and were one of the few people who supported him in the initial October revolution. In addition, the Orthodox church contained vast wealth, something that the communists despised and wanted rid of. To be honest Marxist‒Leninist atheism is a whole different branch of Atheism in itself, a bit like New Atheism, Atheism 2.0 and, to an extent, American Atheism (which seems to run in a tangent to that in Western Europe). When making links like these it would be wise to be cautious because making links between these groups and Atheism would be like making links between the Westboro Baptist church and mainstream Christianity.
