== Atheism, leftism, social justice/progressive values and hypocrisy ==
Historically, the [[secular left]] has been dominant within the atheist community (see: [[Atheism and politics]]). Yet, the atheist/evolutionist community gives less to charity per capita than Christians even when church giving is not counted (see: [[Atheism and charity|Atheism and uncharitableness]]).

According to leading progressive/leftists websites, progressive values include: freedom; opportunity; responsibility; cooperation/community; caring and responsibility, carried out with strength; protection/fairness; honesty and open communication.<ref>[http://thinkprogress.org/election/2013/03/22/1761431/what-it-means-to-be-a-progressive-a-manifesto/ What It Means To Be A Progressive: A Manifesto], Thinkprogress.org</ref><ref>[http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/11/09/658017/-What-are-Progressive-Values What are Progressive Values], Dailykos.com</ref>
The atheist population lacks cooperation/community, is known for engaging in bitter quarrels and is deeply divided (see: [[Atheist factions]] and [[Atheism movement]]). It also has significant racial/gender issues (see: [[Atheism and race]] and [[Atheism and women]]).
As far as the progressive values of caring/protection, the atheist/evolutionist community gives less to charity per capita than Christians even when church giving is not counted (see: [[Atheism and charity|Atheism and uncharitableness]]). In addition, the historical record shows that atheists have often been uncaring and atheists have engaged in barbarous/uncivilized behavior (see: [[Atheism and Mass Murder|Atheism and mass murder]] and [[Mass rape of German women by the Soviet army]] and [[Atheism and cannibalism]] and [[Atheism and bestiality]]).
Also, atheists rarely focuses on the issue of [[social Darwinism]] in their communities past and often takes offense when biblical [[creationism|creationists]] bring this matter up.<ref>[http://creation.com/herbert-spencer Herbert Spencer and social Darwinism]</ref><ref>[http://creation.com/darwinism-and-world-war-one Darwinism and World War I]</ref>

As far as the values of freedom, militant atheists continue to deny basic freedoms to people (See: [[Militant atheism]]).
As far as honesty, atheists have a poor record in this area as well (see: [[Atheism and deception]]).
