Really? Exactly what do YOU understand "atheism" to mean???
Not believing in a Fairy Sky Pixie really isn't that hard of a concept to grasp. And not believing in any God, gods, or goddesses is the ONLY thing every atheist has in common.
I am an atheist and while I personally feel abortion is wrong, I am pro-choice.
Being pro-choice isn't the same thing as being pro-abortion. I don't feel I have a right to force some woman who was raped to carry the child to term. Sorry, I just cannot be that emotionally cruel.
With all the atheist supporters Ron Paul has I'm not sure why you claim atheists are pro-socialism.
I have yet to see any credible evidence to support the existence of any god, therefore I am an atheist.
Bald isn't a hair color. Clear isn't a color. Not collecting postage stamps isn't a hobby. And atheism is not a religion.

I get a kick out of all the labels we try to place on others and outselves... (actually, I find it a bit tiresome). Perhaps one day humanity will be able to break these tired old junior high notions of trying to show how smart we are by being able to define people with all these labels... though I doubt it.
As for me I reject the "atheist" or "agnostic" labels...
I just go with "non-superstitious"... and I voted for Ron Paul.

It really depends on how you look at it.
Bald may not be a hair color, but it is a hair style. Clear isn't exactly a color, but its transparency is a visual perceptual property. Not collecting postage stamps isn't a hobby, but it is a choice. And Atheism might not be a religion, but it is a belief system.

I'm a Christian but I don't go to church. To tell the truth, I just got sick and tired of the greed and corruption in the pews.
+3000 internets for this post. You have my sincere respect, sir.

You just labeled those that use labels as junior high schoolers.
Maybe I am a believer... because I believe you are right.
I must now label myself as "busted".

Im finding this is an odd celebration thread.
Why do we celebrate getting one groups vote?
Some of the statements have been borderline offensive to anyone with a religon.
Such as:

As a Christian doesnt that imply that I am somehow brainwashed? Just some statements I was shocked to hear from such a great group of people.
We shouldnt be going crazy because we won the gay vote, the atheist vote, or the Christian vote for that matter.
If we are equal minded people we should be winning the understanding and support of the PEOPLE.

What you say has a lot of truth.
.....Also, that the media even brings this up should tell us exactly how great the victory is.

Perhaps he could have worded it better. Free'er to develope his own morals and standards because they are not dictated to him from an "All knowing being", that we cannot see, smell, taste, or touch.
Its still just a matter of faith. Iv been a supporter since the beg. when we were at like 1%. Now most people laughed but I had faith and the movement has grown. We no longer look like ideological potheads supporting a canidate because we want our marijuana. We look more legit.

I'm a proud atheist, but I'm skeptical of that. A lot of nonbelievers get sucked into a lot of wacky socialist ideas - just look at France and Sweden! The global warming hoax is a cult that mostly attracted atheists, at least before the government and profit-seeking corporations got involved. And the atheist birthrate is so low that if it wasn't for conversion to atheism we'd be long extinct!
