Why? because the great majority of atheists there are liberals/social democrats(US sense) or far-leftists
Another thing i have noticed is: we(anarcho-capitalists/libertarians) are often treat very badly,often worse than social conservative
Why people smart enough to be atheists are not smart enough to understand the free market?

I have the opposite problem, most Christians seem to be right-wing for some reason which makes no sense whatsoever to me.
If you actually believe in the teachings of Jesus (humour me a moment, those many of you who don't) you would know that it his teachings were heal the sick, feed the poor... basically they were left-wing and socialistic teachings.
Atheism on the other hand I would imagine to logically be libertarian or right wing, as it is an evolutionary fact that one must compete in order to survive which is a very right-wing view.

Really?, you say things like the underlined and wonder why you are called "America hatin"
You are correct, you haven't turned Conservative into a dirty word, rather you have turned "American" to be synonymous for Ignorant.

In my own personal experience, 2 of the most intelligent people I have been fortunate enough to meet have both been religious (1 catholic, 1 Animist beleive it or not). Holding religious beleifs in no way is equatable to intelligence, other than that you have faith. Its not something I would have or care for, but it in no way makes someone as much of an idiot as the origional post would suggest.
