Before I was an atheist, I would sometime swing to the left, sometimes to the right, and sometimes up and down -- I was a gymnast. Having given up gymnastics, I don't often swing, but sometimes I do. Politically, I'm considered on the right by most measures, but I don't like the left-right spectrum.

What? I just answered this question yesterday.

Atheism doesn't inherently have a political bias. But because we're a small societal minority at this time, that tends to select for iconoclastic and independent thinkers, which tends to lean liberal.

yes. we do. or not.

Should have posted this as a Poll

Answer is Left. There are many online polls that support this assertion.
I stand, and dress to the left.

I am pretty far to the left. Not sure if atheism had anything to do with it. I used to be a catholic. Very much taken in (at the time) by the liberation theology. I was a lefty before I was an atheist. I lost my religion in part due to the contradiction in the liberation theology: that Jesus was only a revolutionary because he was revolting against the existing religious power, but not so much against the existing political power. When I realized that in the balance, the political powers always controlled the religious power in the history, I realized Jesus was superfluous in the equation.

Delends on the boxers they are wearing....

What kind of a dumb question is that?

Who knows, as long as they use their brains is fine for me.

I tend to be moderately liberal.

Someone started a swingers group and didn’t invite me?? WTF

"Swing"???? It's not enough to vote, I have to attend orgies too? Really?

It depends on who's leading... and how well they know the steps.

I identify as as an egailitarian classical liberal capitalist. From my point of view, that is centrist. Leftists tend to regard me as "far right". Some conservatives tolerate me as being a confused, but well-meaning socialist.
I have found that most philosiphical/political posts on this site are left-leaning. I like to believe that is more due to the vociferousness of leftists than as a measure of the average site member's viewpoints.

There's no inherent political implications of atheism, however, being a small minority in society tends to select for iconoclasts and independent thinkers, which tends to select for liberal - leaning people.

Hmmm not sure, what about baseball fans?

Politically? I've seen them all over the political spectrum.

I consider myself above politics, not to sound cocky or anything, but I think the current system is broken. That being said, I consider myself more libertarian than anything but I hold some leftist beliefs and some right. I think we need a more inclusive system, one that allows for more variance in beliefs. Something better than a two-party system. Our environment is being degraded, our corporations are corrupt, follow the dollar signs and you'll find that money is causing most of our issues. We need a universal basic income or something. Not communism. Not socialism. Not democracy. We need a resource based economy. Something, anything different than what we have now. End rant.

I swing back and forth.
