I prefer to define myself as a naturalist, rather than an atheist. I don't just not believe there is a god or gods, I also firmly believe that there is nothing supernatural in this world.
Politically, I find the lack of meaningful choices in the US system to preclude me from grouping myself usefully with one side or the other. I generally vote Democrat, but support many of the initiatives of the current Arizona republican government.
I am:
anti-interventionist,
pro-enviromentalism,
pro-socialized medicine,
anti-all forms of gun control
pro-pure science and arts (I don't mind taxes that go to large hadron type-stuff, space exploration, PBS, public libraries and museums)
pro-choice
pro-unrestricted free speech
anti-organized religion (or at least, anti- its various influences politically)
pro-legalization (drugs, prostitution, maybe even donkey sex...all victim-less crimes)
pro-small government
mildly anarchist
