I posted this question on Reddit a while ago and it was an interesting discussion so I wanted to hear what Lemmings think.

It’s common for religious people to be against the above mentioned things due to their beliefs, but how common is it for atheists to be against them? What reasons would they have? How would they base their opinion if there was no belief system/religion to rely on?

I’m not trying to provoke or insult anybody with this question, and I don’t wish for people to hate on each other’s beliefs. I just think this is an interesting concept to think about.

    Every year “secular pro-life” has a fairly large contingency at the March for Life in Washington DC.

    I am myself a pro-life Catholic but I also have found nonreligious on the right are much more prone to radical and violent ideas than religious folks on the right. For example I don’t know anyone who loves Trump at my church. Some just accept him as being the highly flawed option we have in the moment whereas I know some crazy lovers of his that are absolutely without religion. My experience might or might not play out in the numbers but it is my experience.
