I think there are probably more atheists that are progressive than not… If you don’t believe in God it’s likely that you are a proponent of the scientific method, that supports a progressive mindset...Sure there are exceptions but that doesn’t seem any more logical to me then being a theist. I realize saying this could piss some off but I believe it’s a minority. If statistics prove me to be wrong I would find that to be disappointing.

We have different political views on this very site. I would venture to say Wouldn't you?

Republican policies help make me a Progressive. My parents were born in 1918 and suffered through the Depression, they disliked Republicans as much as I do.

I think this is a good question for discussion. I would vote that atheists would tend toward being progressive. The scientific mind is persuaded by facts not opinions. Of course there are people on both sides of the social/political fence who twist the truth to fit their ideology. Still from my limited experience browsing comments in atheist groups, the ideas shared support the notion that we as a group are opposed to many negative views espoused by the right wing. I would be interested to read comments from other folks.

A-theists reject the idea of the existance of a god(s) or dieties. Other than that we are just normal human beings with all that that implies like everyone else.

I would have to say for the most part atheist are more prone to be progressive for the same reason they are atheist and that has to do with intelligence and fear. Studies have shown you that if you are more intelligent you tend to be more liberal. A couple other studies indicated that conservatives react to threats and fear in different ways. I think there is a tie between intelligence and how you react to threats and fear but cannot point to any studies that support that belief.

I am English so we don't have the same labels and i don't understand what they would mean to you or me. I vote socialist always.

My motto is Vote Socialist and Vote often!

It is not a Progessive who stand to be right or wrong, that is a fascist conservative transnational corporations view who want to indenturement and enslave us!

A Progessive see's the Moral and Ehtical reasoning for the greater good not just for the few wealthy, transnationall Corporations, bought and sold politician!

I am a progressive Democrat. Loosely defined as a Social Democrat.

It’s a shame there are only ‘two camps’ in the USA, though that’s what our system’s forced us into. I’ll support what I feel is right, or correct, over the ‘team’ that happens to include either party. Wanna see a shit storm, though, identify with one ..then disagree

My parents were Dems, My grand parents were Dems..on both sides..My brother and I are DemSocialist..back when my folks were alive you'd be an embarrassment to the families if you Republican..My 3 oldest sibling voted Her Drumpf..cause you know he's white and MaGa..Yes I am Thoroughly embarrassed!

Most atheists that I know have a more left leaning political views and centerest views.

Critical thinking is key. what happens when we are the majority should be interesting as then the greedy will be in our midst

Well I personally don't like the term progressive because it has tinges of regressivism, but I do think more atheist fall more to the left of the political spectrum. Obviously there are outliers and such but from real world experiences and from being online it seems that way.

I just read an article about how an increasing number of atheist men are gravitating toward anti-feminist and white supremacist spaces. I would think, however, that atheists would be more likely to be progressive. Socially progressive, at least. None of that biblical morality messing things up.

Currently running for a special election for city council.

I dunno. I align personally with neither as a libertarian.

I dated a woman a few times who was a staunch Republican, a few dates in she told me she got hate messages on a dating site for being an Atheist so changed it to Other. Would that be an oxymoron?

No political preference, both sides can and have been wrong on certain issues. Politics have become so corrupt it's not funny.
