My beliefs

I consider myself a conservative atheist. I looked it up once and found that I am in the smallest group. Smaller than liberal theists. I also try to be a good skeptic which is hard as I some come across as a cynic. The atheist part is obvious but the conservative part bears some explanation. I view conservatism as being responsible for your actions and not expecting anyone else to bail you out. I also follow reciprocity. This is not quite the Golden Rule but I treat others as they treat me. I like small government and free markets. I guess I lean a bit Libertarian, too.
