"Godless Conservative" refers to faux conservatives who are atheists/agnostics, or who believe in purging spirituality and all references to God from public life. Prominent examples include Jennifer Rubin and Heather Mac Donald.
The radical and errant secular religions of atheism/agnosticism/evolutionism are not traditional/conservative religions (see: Atheism is a religion). The atheist philosopher of science Michael Ruse said "Evolution is a religion. This was true of evolution in the beginning, and it is true of evolution still today."[1] In the their Question evolution! campaign, Creation Ministries International asserts that evolution is a religion.[2] See: Evolution as a secular origins myth
In addition, so-called "godless conservatives" commonly reject social conservatism.
