JAG Writes:
Atheism/Secularism wants a different kind of America than Christendom
wants. The Atheistic/Secularistic ideology is not harmonious with the
Christian world-view and vise versa.
First there ARE many Conservative atheists in the world that stand
against Liberalism -- nonetheless this OP is about a relatively small
number of atheists -- the Conservative atheists -- so this OP is not
going to be of much interest to most atheists who are political Liberals
and not political Conservatives -- yet some atheists that have
Conservative political leanings may find this OP interesting. Plus
its "food for thought" and may lead to other more interesting OP's.

From The Harvard Political Review:
"While the idea of a conservative atheist might seem unusual at first,
according to a 2012 Pew poll ---- Thirteen percent of atheists and
agnostics self-identify as conservative—a number that indicates a
growing group on the right that does not believe in a god."

Can Conservative Atheism/Secularism Make Common Political Cause With Conservative Christendom? No.
{1} Atheism/Secularism wants a totally different America than does Conservative Christendom and the two sides are never going to reconcile or harmonize ---but will become more and more hostile and war-like as conditions worsen in America. Secularism's world-view is in direct opposition with Christendom's world-view. They want different America's.
{2} Atheism/Secularism has turned into a political movement that is at ideological war with Christianity and with Theism.
"New Atheism is a term coined by the journalist Gary Wolf in 2006 to describe the positions promoted by some atheists of the twenty-first century. This modern-day atheism is advanced by a group of thinkers and writers who advocate the view that superstition, religion and irrationalism should not simply be tolerated but should be countered, criticized, and exposed by rational argument wherever their influence arises in government, education, and politics. According to Richard Ostling, Bertrand Russell, in his 1927 essay Why I Am Not a Christian, made recommendations similar to those proposed by the New Atheists, suggesting that there are no substantive differences between traditional atheism and New Atheism"___Wiki

{3} It is going to become more and more difficult for Conservative atheists to "make common cause" with Conservative Christians or with Theists because of my {1} and {2} and {4}.
{4} Christians and Theists are daily coming more and more to see activist-thread-atheists as their sworn enemy, thanks to threads in Forums on the Internet At Large and thanks to video sharing websites like You Tube -- where it is becoming more and more obvious each day that atheism/Secularism and Christendom are locked down in ideological war on the Internet. Add all forms of Social Media, eg Facebook, Twitter, etc its constant WAR all the time. Gonna get worse too. Its the principle of Superman vs. Lex Luthor and the principle of Batman vs. The Joker. Enemies. Like Patton and Rommel. Not friends, but enemies. It is what it is --- and Enemies is what it is.

Social and Political Tribalism is not good for the survival of the American Republic.
If the Liberal Democratic Party actually comes to political power in 2020, my prediction is your life will change for the worst at high levels of personal agony.
If the Liberal Democratic Party actually comes to power in 2020, they can:
■ increase federal spending at nation-killing levels
■ increase Federal power at nation killing levels
■ push through statehood legislation for Puerto Rico and Washington DC and thereby , , ,
■ gain control of the US Senate
■ kill the US Senate filibuster leaving the GOP minority powerless to resist Liberalism and Socialism throughout America
■ make every issue a racist issue and paint all opposition to THEM as being racist remember that
■ ridicule was one of Alinsky's Rules For Radicals and Constant Ridicule does work -- eg. the constant accusation of Racism
{ Looks to me like most Conservative leaders in DC are NOW scared to death of being called a Racist, Homophobe, Misogynist, Xenophobe, or Nativist}
■ open the flood gates to illegal immigration thus increasing their voters pool and thereby effectively destroying the Republican Party forever
■ provide legislation to enable amnesty for the 11 million to 22 million illegals already here to become Democrat Party voters.
■ allow America's some 2,000,000 prison inmates to vote {they will vote for the Democratic Party}
■ push through legislation that destroys the 2nd Amendment and effectively disarms America
■ allow chain immigration to further increase their Democratic pool of voters and thereby turn many Blue states into Red Democratic states
■ push through reparations for slavery
■ push through Medicare for all
■ push through nation killing laws based on climate scare
■ unleash Joe Biden upon America -- regular Joe'ism is bad enough , , , but there is more , ,
■ unleash Joe Biden on America allowing Joe to effectively select the next President Of the US, because Joe at his age and mental and physical condition is very unlikely to finish out his 4 years term. So? So get set for an ULTRA-Liberal female of color to be America's next President who is highly likely to be FAR-WORSE for Conservativism than Joe Biden ever thought of being.
■ destroy for all practical purposes the Republican Party and all serious political opposition to their Liberalism/Socialism/Marxism

The 21st Century is shaping up to be a "war of all against all."
Theism is projected to hit 5.7 billion by the year 2050. That's gonna be a lot of
Theists in the world -- and unhappy with atheism/Secularism.
