No, but Grover Norquist and Koch bros are the leaders of the GOP party that wants the rich to stay wealthy and they aren't gonna be once we have a Secular Congress in 25

Considering that many posters here are obsessed with playing devil’s advocate, and sometimes things that should be common sense still struggle to get more than 60% support in polls here, that’s a resounding no. Atlas is many things, but it is not in unquestioning agreement on everything (or anything, really.)

No. However, we have had individual cults.

You'll see them regularly on the "unban ____" petitions. For a particularly worrying one (if thankfully gone now), consider Bushie and the whole people enjoying watching a man unravel over his bad decisions and cheering on the ongoing documentation of it.

Was going to say, Atlas is indeed a cult and our leader made the first reply.

olawakandi aside, there's always been some nuanced discussion here. One thing that's changed is it is a very tall order to try and intellectually defend Trump on a forum full of people who are mostly somewhere left-of-center and well-educated. And if you do like Trump, then naturally it's easier to openly support and defend him on CCord than it is on the forum.

And from what I gather, Atlas always had a left tinge to it. But even in 2004 you still had multiple outspoken opponents of gay marriage. We have a lot more religious users than you would expect for a community of its demographics. In general, the forum's not that politically correct or "woke" and all that's expected of posters as far as LGBT users is concerned is basic respect. 2013 Tumblr, we are not.

The Rs are the Norquist and Koch bros party and Johnson looks like a Koch but we aren't Ds or Rs we are Secularism or Traditional and we live in a Secularist D not a Communist state that's why Dick Cheney totally flipped from Traditional to Secularism it's in You tube how he does not like Trump R party because he is now a Secularist because he doesn't hold public office ANYMORE

The question more is whether it's a freedom cult or a horrible cult. Discuss with maps.
