  1. Why do they have to be prominent?

  2. Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, Hayek, and many more

  1. So people know their actual views semi widely, wouldn't matter at all if you said "I have friends" as we have no way to look into their beliefs.

I mean, feel free to check my own comments if you want

I was just answering your question, I think a majority of atheists do not end up skewing right/conservative generally because they don't adhear to any of the outdated/harmful aspects of most mainstream religions.

Imo, religion having any correlation with being a bit more right wing is a historical coincidence, right wing economics was in the 18th and 19th century often tied to less religious people.

I love how the only three names you could come up with were dead people.

Or maybe it's just who I thought of? I think it's fair to even say Trump is effectively agnostic even if he wouldn't admit it

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Is it just who you thought of or is it that the modern right is completely in bed with the Christian theocrats? Whether or not you believe Trump is agnostic, he's selling Bibles and making bank off of them.

[-] aidan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Its who I thought of, because its (at least for Friedman, not Ayn Rand) who I align with more(somewhat) on the right. I am an agnostic and pretty right-wing(by my own definition)
