I don't get along with most atheists because they're overwhelmingly liberal
Because they've replaced the moral framework religion provided with another moral framework tied in with their atheism and their politics.
Maybe it's as simple as this: humans need something bigger than themselves to believe in. How many people do you know personally that are just as 'religious' as a typical Christian (or more, even) about their atheism.
In these cases, what framework exists is pretty much hedonism and/or nihilism. If there's nothing bigger than us, then nothing we do matters.
Now, here's the biggest problem: the moral decay that I refer to is obviously bigger than a group of atheists. How many "liberal" christian sects are completely and irrevocably cucked? Look at how many denominations stand for absolutely nothing (looking at you, United Church of Christ).
Even the Catholic church is guilty of this. I grew up going to Catholic schools (even though I was not) and I really do like the ritual nature of the Catholic Mass (Hey, at least I feel like I'm participating in something with structure, right?) -- but the current Pope is actively destroying the church by diminishing the structures, the rituals, and the codes. It's all connected.
That's just where I'm at. I'm not going to pressure you to do anything differently - we're both on the same road trying to find the same answers and I wish you the best of luck.
