= Agnosticism political views statistics

According to the atheist Austin Cline:

“ ...agnostics are widely perceived to be liberal, but that's more than just perception: there is good statistical evidence showing strong liberal tendencies among atheists and agnostics. Liberal beliefs show up most strongly in those areas where religiously conservative Christians are most likely to take the opposition position. Coincidence? Unlikely.

As part of a larger poll on religious belief, Harris Interactive asked people the following question: "Please indicate whether you support or oppose the policy." These are the percentages of atheists and agnostics who agreed with the following answers:

  • Abortion rights: 90%
  • Use of birth control/contraception: 99%
  • Abstinence from sex before marriage: 31%
  • Condom use to prevent HIV and other STDs: 99%
  • Funding of international HIV prevention and treatment programs: 95%
  • Funding of international birth control programs 87%
  • Universal health insurance: 89%
  • Sex education in high school: 94%
  • Embryonic stem cell research: 96%
  • Withdrawal of life support systems/food for those in vegetative state: 86%
  • Medicare (health insurance for the elderly and disabled): 97%
