Atheists are almost always Lefties, and as I pointed out awhile back, Lefties are the spiritual descendants of the original Puritans. They can't live with the thought that somebody, somewhere, is doing what HE wants to do rather than what the Lefties want him to do.

Nay on the Alternate Bizarro Universe award - that's reserved for truly wacked-out assumptions. This goes more with the Pot and Kettle or Death by Irony Overdose.

Someone had the old jokey insult definition of a Puritan being "The fear that someone, somewhere, might be having a good time" thrown at him for his views and forgot to look up (or thought he knew) what a Puritan was. But hey, it sounded good anyway so he decided to use it for himself when he thought no-one was looking. Fundies seem to do that kind of thing a lot.
In all fairness, the Puritans were all about controlling how people behaved. One of the reasons they lived in such close communities... everyone could watch everyone else.
Similar thing with far left wing politics. You go far enough to the left you have a similar notion about the community.
Then again, you go far enough to the right you get one person in charge of everything.
But... Not all (or most) "lefties" are crazy extremists. Nor are all atheists lefties. In fact, there are quite a few libertarian atheists, and libertarians are, by definition, fairly right wing.
But nah, the crazy righties that this fellow sounds like would be more along the lines of the Virginia Planters, you know, the guys who believed in so much free enterprise they had slaves.
Yeah, I'm an atheist, and I'm left handed, so? Oh wait, that wasn't what you meant by "lefties?" Wait, wut?
I think we can sum up your political philosophy quite succinctly DesertFox:
Conservative good, Liberal bad!
Now imagine the "bad" spoken in a bleating voice and you have a good idea of what DesertFox's thought processes are like
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
