Why does it seem like every non-theist is a Kerry voter?

Personally, I am a atheist..and I still would have voted for Bush!!! *gasp* People can vote for someone for something besides religion and social issues. I would have voted for Bush just because he is much more aggressive on the war on terror. Also, he is a bit more decided when it comes to decisions, where Kerry keeps seeming to be very flip-floppy (lol). I also believe in privitization, also another thing that Bush wants to push. Is there any non-theists or non-Christians who would have voted for Bush, I can't believe people couldn't just because he is religious. I guess you could even consider me a moderate conservative. I am not old enough so that's why I didn't vote, by the way.

Spinkles and Ceridwen are non-theists who not only didn't vote for Kerry, but who also (some of us suspect) hacked the vote in Ohio to get Bush reelected.

I didn't have a problem with Bush's religion until he started trying to push it on everyone. But then, I didn't care for the man to begin with.... I don't think I've agreed with one decision he's made. Kerry wasn't perfect, but to me, a whole lot better than Bush.

I don't think atheists are as caught up in 'who has religion' as some others are. I think they are are more determined to hear the actual message.

Because we had to compensate for all the Christians who voted for Bush.

I voted for Leonard Peltior (a write in) because I could not in good concious vote for Bush or Kerry because to me they are just political vermin with agendas contrary with what I feel America ( after we stole it) origionally stood for as stated in the constitution.

Whether Leonard Peltior killed those F.B.I. agents or not is up for debate, but from what I have read of that particular case and the general attitude and actions of the U.S. government during that time when Native Americans began to assert themselves- I wouldn't have blamed him if he did.

War on terror? That's funny. Real funny. His "war" is actually causing more terror. And about "pre-emptive strikes".........it's like going to war with Lebanon because we've decided to buy a BB-Gun.

And one thing I don't get: the US is so against nuclear weapon programs. That is, except theirs and Israel's. Why? They want to be safe? :p

I think 9/11 reelected Bush. Without it, he would be more clearly seen for what he is: a mediocre president. But 9/11 obscured his many failings, and let him come across as a tough on terrorists president.

Personally, I don't think he's all that tough on terrorists. He invaded the wrong country (Iraq) and allowed Osima bin Laden to escape. That's not very tough on terrorists.

Now, now... Remember that these amazing bombs are so powerful that each time every one of them explodes (as also noticed by "The Onion") it is capable of creating 100 terrorists that weren't there before.

A mediocre president? George W. Bush couldn't rise to the level of mediocrity if his life depended on it.

Well I am one of the few Christians I know that likes Kerry. Bush has disgusted me. He has created more terrorists than destroyed. And he has twisted our democracy into some kind of theocracy wanna be.

There seems to be a Sartrian bent with bush in power to classify atheists for anyone not practicing at least the faith of questioning along with his true existence his existence for purpose. My view is that teleology does not mean a necessary bent on making sense of creation indeed the creator.
Actually if John Kerry were in power the war in Iraq would not be much worse to demands of theocracy at an issue. They would put the issue into a disgrace of concern for the past ... (who knows?). People could mutually informing of who's who on fundamental ruling issues over authority. The Baa'fers are gone: coalitions between believers and non-believers need not happen.:tsk:
I know, that sounds like double talk.:D

Not that I like Bush, I think both Bush and Kerry are terrible people, but Bush is the lesser of two evils. Also I don't like his stance on social issues, he is extremely conservative there.

And exactly THAT is what no foreigner understands...
How many candidates were on the ballot for President? 10? And all even more evil then the 2 lesser evils?

See where I come from we vote on people that we want IN the government, not on people to keep people OUT of government. Can you explain how that tradition has grown into existance?

Bush is the lesser of which two evils... Was Bin Laden running for President?
In regards to the original question I think it is quite simple. Atheists don't support theocracy. Logically, neither should anyone else. There are plenty of religious people who are nonetheless capable of reason and logic and who value the ideals of democracy and peace. Bush is not one them, and neither are the evangelists who think that the most important aspect to practice of Christianity is the hatred of homosexuals and that the greatest reward for Christianity is getting to see everyone else who does not conform to their culture and political ideology burn in hellfire for all eternity.

Kerry would have weakened our military, that's just what liberals do (like Clinton). That's why republicans always win the military vote.
