I am an atheist, and in US terms I am not a liberal, but in British terms I am.
There are many issues that don't match in a European Liberals views to an American Liberal's.
It's hard to explain, but I believe in Freedm of Choice, Freedom of Expression, and Support for the Poor and Sick.
The political movement that has most in common with my possition is the Fabians - almost socialist, but not in favour of collective ownership.
I believe that we all have rights (free expression etc) but with them comes a heavy burden of responsibilities (just because I CAN say that i think your {insert sacred cow of choice} is a cnut-bucket, doesn't mean that I SHOULD say it).

And deep beneath the rolling waves,
In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
