  1. An atheist living by two principles: Life is Good. I am not God. will arrive at a moral/ethical framework that's pretty acceptable and untainted by religious dogma. The RNC is NOT reading the room. They're appealing to a regressive right that they already own, rather than making any attempt to appeal to a broad middle that rejects authoritarianism from BOTH major parties. They're not rejecting authoritarianism. They're promoting authoritarianism that agrees with them. You see this in the public schools. They're not rejecting public school indoctrination. They just want to CONTROL the indoctrination. Rainbow flags bad. Pledge of Allegiance good. "Woke is crazy; therefore, believe in my interpretation of Sky God's Will." Most of us are neither woke nor "Believe in Sky God or you're evil."

  2.  @michaelkistner6286  The non-force principle that is so dear to libertarians is easily derived from "Life is good." If by non-conformity, you mean acting against the life or property of another human being, that is the only exception to the non-force principle: Someone who has used force to deprive another person of life, liberty or property is subject to the use of force against them.

  3. I would be classified as "far right" for simply being a classical liberal. Big government is far right. Liberals who push for big government are illiberal. Big government is the modern equivalent of Divine Right of Kings: "I will care for you. In return, you will obey me in all things."
