Republican Atheists is a "group for those who identify as Atheist, Agnostic, Secular and others who are registered Republicans or take interest in the Republican Party."[1] Their goal is to build awareness of atheist presence in the Republican Party.[2]
The Republican Party is significantly more religious than the Democratic Party which is its chief rival political party. However, within Democratic Party black Americans and Latinos are significant segments of their political party and these two groups are very religious (see: Black atheism and Atheism and Latino Americans). Evangelical Christians tend to support the Republican Party. Individuals who are adherents of liberal Christianity and Catholicism and individuals who are secular voters tend to support the Democratic Party. At the same time, many devout Catholics, especially those who are pro-life, support the Republican Party.
