There are atheist conservatives. Maybe it is semantics, but the theory that "If it doesn't hurt me or infringe on my personal liberties, then I am OK with it" is not necessarily liberal. I would call that conservative. It's probably just me, but I don't think most bedrock "conservative" christians are really very conservative as it relates to personal freedom.
Gay marriage--I personally prefer to allow civil unions, but don't really care. It's a state issue. I agree with letting states ban it if they want to. The Mass. Supreme Court is crazy--worst kind of liberal thinking.
Abortion--I'm against it and would vote to ban it in my state if it were on the ballot. It should be an electoral or legislative state issue. Roe v. Wade is bad law. I don't mean bad because I don't like the outcome, its bad constitutional law. Again, worst kind of liberal thinking.
Gun control--finally, a right that actually is in the constitution. Fire away.
Prostitution--state issue--go for it. Get it done locally and increase tourism.
Marijuana--same as prostitution. If you are going to get it on the ballot, go for the prostitution too.
Euthanasia--state issue--let the people decide. I would vote for it with some controls--probably require a knowing consent and two doctors signatures re: condition, and maybe judicial review at the request of family or health care provider--not to decide if o.k., just to make sure rules have been followed.
