Is anyone else an atheist with BC besides me?

I would agree that religion is heavily politicized. And quite frankly it is the religious conservatives who have made it so. However, I would like to think that there are some areas where the non religious left and the non religious right can come together. I see this mostly happening when it comes to the environment and possibly public education. I think reaching across the aisle every once in awhile does us some good.
And In my humble opinion that is and should be the purpose of this thread

Dogmom, that’s fair enough and maybe it’s important that people have a place to go where they can be an atheist and also a political conservative. It’s just not the thread for me.
So, I’ve just started a new thread: “A place for progressive atheists.”

Anyone who isn’t uncomfortable with calling out the religious right, come on over

By the way, if you look at the link I posted, it is all Trumps own words, embroidered onto antique linens. That's it.
The "slam" is that the words themselves are incredibly offensive, dangerous or stupid. He said those words. It's surprising that any atheist/rational thinker would be pro-Trump when he's pushing theocracy and lives in his own reality.

The real danger to the secular America of the founders comes from the religious right. This is a pdf of the original plan of a group of people called Dominionists. It may be a bit difficult to read, but if one takes the time, it's not long, one will see why Trump/Pemce are favorites of the far right evangelicals. https://ncse.ngo/files/pub/creationism/The_Wedge_S...
Here is an article about Dominionists in Texas, although they are in every state. https://www.texasobserver.org/dominion-theology/
Sure, there are lots of places to discuss politics, but this is more than politics. It is a well thought out plan to turn this country into a theocracy. Atheist of any political persuasion should be aware and wary.

How do atheists protect themselves?
A religious person can pray to gods in order to ask for protection from illnesses, bad luck, accidents, or being fired. An atheist has no such remedy. How do atheists protect themselves against the difficulties of life?
There are several things that you can do as an atheist:
- Get a good education
- Select your life partner carefully
- Take your work seriously, and do a good job at it
- Take care of your body, monitor your health, and exercise regularly (do a Web search)
- Avoid dangers (do a Web search)
- Follow all safety instructions prescribed by the law
- Handle your data and your digital identity responsibly
