Changes

Made most apparent by the secular right, there are a number of Atheists who follow Conservatism in both the fiscal and social sense. Jillian Becker, a British Conservative Atheist who founded the blog "The Atheist Conservative", once claimed "one does not need Jesus to lead one toward a conservative viewpoint. In fact, US republicanism did not start combineing reglion with conservatism until the 1970s.<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/19/us/19beliefs.html?_r=0</ref>. The Secular right claims that conservatism ends with "Human Flourishing"<ref>http://secularright.org/SR/wordpress/about/</ref> and so an Atheist who follows reason and logic would accept this as the best political pathway. Another reason is that Atheists will reject [[Liberal claptrap]] due to the lack of evidence that Liberals can provide against the historical evidence that Conservatism provides. As aforementioned, the level of Atheists who are conservative varies greatly by country. In the USA, few Atheists are conservatives, while there are a few notable conservatives such as Razib Khan, [[S.E. Cupp]] and [[Heather Mac Donald]] who are considered leading figures of the secular right. This low level can be attributed to Attacks from the religious right such as George Bush who once said "No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots" which would not ease Secular Right and Religious Right tensions. There is a far stronger position of Atheist conservatives in The United Kingdom, with famous adherents such as David Hume, Reginald Johnston<ref>http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm199899/cmhansrd/vo990623/debtext/90623-40.htm</ref> and Tory MP Michael Portillo. In South Korera, the Head of the conservative party was an atheist while he was running against a Roman-Catholic liberal.<ref>http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2012/12/conservative-atheists-not-rare-in-south-korea/#.UdyBOW3pRxI
