Why don't liberals believe in God?

Answer 1

This question falls prey to several sad suppositions.

It suggests that all liberals are godless and all conservatives are godly.

It suggests that to be godly a person must be not liberal but conservative.

None of those is true.

There is much depth and scope to the relationships between religious beliefs and political or moral stance.

Each of us is able to have a different religious belief or political stance from the next person. It is in our nature to differ on the same things.

There are people who think that, if a person follows a particular religion or political belief, it means they are moral or immoral. That is entirely wrong; a person's morality is not dependent upon a particular religion or a particular political belief.

Most statistics might suggest that Christians comprise a larger share of the conservative sector and non-Christians are usually a part of the liberal sector.

The Census Bureau's 2008 ARIS survey showed that only 15% of Americans replied they do not believe in God or are unsure if there can be a God.

Take any two people, one who identifies as a conservative and one as a liberal. Each tends to think in different ways.

But it is not possible to determine the reasons why a person decides to follow a particular political or religious belief system without inquiring of the individual person.

In the case of politics and religion, all stereotypes are entirely wrong.

Answer 2

Not all liberals reject the belief in God; in fact, many liberals do have religious beliefs. However, some liberals may focus more on secular values and principles, leading to a less prominent role for organized religion in their worldview. It is important to recognize that beliefs about God are highly personal and can vary widely among individuals regardless of their political beliefs.
