2008 Presidential Election Guide for Atheists: Issues & Candidates in 2008

What Matters for Atheist Voters in the 2008 Presidential Election Campaign?

By Austin Cline, About.com

Atheists are basically like most other Americans when it comes to most of the political and social issues which matter most to them, but there are also issues and perspectives which are more relevant to atheists than to most other Americans. Atheists need to care about bigotry against atheists, whether candidates will uphold church/state separation or pander to religion, how best to critique the role of public religion, and so forth. Godless liberals and the secular left, insofar as they exist, have little to no influence and no real power, but that is something which atheists might be able to change if they work at it.
