Economically in terms of wealth inequality, socially in terms of evangelicals sided with secular money elite, who smile and nod at them without believing,.

The uncomfortable position of the left is just the complexity of ideals mixed with reason. Both parts of the right have the advantage of ideological simplicity. Thats why I was saying speaking and seeking truth was a good simple direction.

As far as atheism and truth, I think the first thing thats important is that we realize no one knows the whole truth, and share it as we see it. I think if people did this, people would see a lot more atheists. I myself am not one, but my faith has an Eastern flavor: my God is beyond the matrix, so seeing any kind of evidence inside the matrix is a rare event, an anomoly experienced by a rare few only by grace from the outside. So in this sense I think atheism is a rational stance for many.
