[[Ann Coulter]]'s 2006 book
'''Godless
: The Church of Liberalism''' makes the connection between [[liberalism and atheism]], arguing that to its adherents, [[liberalism]] holds every single characteristic of a [[religion]]: an [[atheistic]] one. <ref>Ann Coulter, Godless: The Church of Liberalism (New York: Crown Publishing Group, 2006) ISBN 1-4000-5420-6<blockquote>Liberals love to boast that they are not 'religious,' which is what one would expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion. Of course liberalism is a religion. It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own total worldview, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe. In other words, liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as 'religion.'</blockquote> </ref>
