BEING A REPUBLICAN ATHEIST IS NOT AN OXYMORON: AN INTERVIEW WITH FOUNDER LAUREN ELL



A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO RELIGION IN POLITICS


When we think of Atheism in America, the first image in your head is probably not of the Republican Party. Lauren Ell, the founder of Republican Atheists, is trying to change that viewpoint. The organization has been created for those who do not believe in god but also agree with the Republican political agenda. While the Republican Party is inextricably perceived to be solely linked to Christianity, while Atheism is linked with political liberalism, there is more nuance in the intersection of religion and politics.

The Republican Party is very disappointing. To judge by the way Congressional Republican leaders, and numerous “NeverTrumpers” among “conservative” journalists, actively side with the “Resistance” against President Trump, it seems they would rather have socialism, Islam, corruption, violence, open borders, unemployment, hysterical racism, endless debate about who can use which public bathroom, high taxes, enforced unanimity of opinion in the universities, compulsory payment of huge sums to Al Gore to keep the planet cool, the shaming of white men for being white, and the running of everything by women.

If more Republicans were atheists, would the party become more rational, more principled, and more supportive of President Trump?

It’s an optimistic hypothesis, but who knows?

Some competent Republican atheists have formed an organization that will test the theory, perhaps lure any secret non-believing members of the party out of the closet, and even perhaps “normalize” atheism in the eyes of the religious.

We think it worth trying. So here is a flyer for the Republican Atheist movement.

Introducing Republican Atheists: a new face for secular conservatism

Republican Atheists is a nationally and internationally recognized organization that launched in the USA in February 2017 to build awareness of secular presence in the Republican Party.

President and founder Lauren Ell decided to launch the organization after becoming determined to showcase that being a registered Republican does not require being subscribed to religion. Ell also wanted to make a statement in the atheist community that atheists can have conservative views.

“I decided I’ve had enough of not being represented in both the Republican Party and atheist community,” Ell said. “I launched Republican Atheists to represent those who are in a similar circumstance as me and to give a stronger voice to secular conservatism.”

Ell was born and raised in Southern California. She is located in Sweden most of the year since Spring 2016. Ell has identified as an atheist for over a decade and has an educational background in Marketing and Geology. She currently works as a marketing consultant and business owner while devoting volunteer time to Republican Atheists.

Despite having an exclusive name, Republican Atheists does not solicit strictly to atheists. The organization welcomes those who consider themselves agnostic, humanist and secular. In fact, everyone is welcome to tune into Republican Atheists when they have the time.

Republican Atheists has two official board members who are registered Republicans. First registered board member Republican State Rep. Brandon Phinney from Rochester, New Hampshire, provides insight into state-level politics and communicating with the public. Phinney made waves in atheist and religious media outlets in Spring 2017 when he discussed his atheist views while being a Republican representative.

The second board member is well-known author and speaker, Robert M. Price, PhD in Theology and PhD in New Testament. Price has taught in colleges and universities and has also served as director for NY Metro Center for Inquiry. He directs his own podcast known as The Bible Geek.

Additionally, the organization is pleased to have Raul D. Empaire on board, an official correspondent on issues surrounding Venezuela.

Republican Atheists has been featured by United Coalition of Reason, Secular Policy Institute and Friendly Atheist (blog). Ell has also introduced Republican Atheists at the well-known campus University of California, Riverside, located in Riverside, CA. With a growing social media following on Facebook and Twitter, the organization continues to expand its outreach and influence.

The team of Republican Atheists looks forward to building more awareness of secular conservatism through public speaking engagements, interviews and social media activity. For more information visit the official website:

I agree, we Republican atheists are fine people, welcome to the party. However, we Republicans were all once atheists, at the time of birth. Most of us were introduced to family values reflecting Judeo-Christian beliefs and values, so we had little reason to think of doubt as a contradiction of our cherished beliefs. Others were born into godless, even communist, families and never considered doubt to be a contradiction of communist ideology or principled atheism. Whether centered around God or the State, children will be children, trusting and too naive to ask penetrating questions.

After leaving the nest, into the real world, most of us became immersed in a secular world wherein social acceptance ignored ideologies. We joined the party of doing what comes naturally, living a good life within or outside the lines of ideological containment, finding the pleasures of life as well as the associated penalties.

However, as the years whiz by, there seems to be a right-shift related to an accumulation of experience and a seasoned view of the history of human civilization and particularly American history. It begins to dawn that there are only two ideological realms worldwide, regardlesss of national, religious, or ethnic considerations. There is the nuclear, human family and the natural state of man, the latter of which has its rudder set to the left, following our pack/herd mentality under the sway of following brutish authority, i.e., globalist communism.

The nuclear, human family, however, is based upon stern, parental authority, a mommy-daddy-me family trinity that worships under no political flag or glorious leader, but only legitimate, family authority. Rudder to the right, family values are very often patterned after the holy family, i.e., (1) the irritable, heavenly father, (2) the necessarily female source of all legitimate, moral authority, and (3) little, feral me, to be housebroken and domesticated by suppression of the natural predatory nature of my DNA. This is Judeo-Christian, Western civilization, based upon legitimate, family authority, while global communism is based upon the predatory, animal nature of Homo sapiens, which can at best only emulate the miraculous success of Western civilization.

I am a Republican atheist, an observant senior, and a big-time family man who believes that if something isn't good for little children then it's no damn good, so deal with it. I'm not terribly fond of child(ren), even my own, but the serious business of life is all about them, not us, nor about the welfare of the welfare state that is by law forbidden to admit to the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the only hope of mankind.

Anyone can refuse to believe anything, but very few told of God's infinite love reject it; it sticks in human consciousness, while rejected in the mind-space of our base, animal awareness. Liberals/communists, like all animals, recoil in fear of any external authority, beginning with their parents and then the parental prototype, foreboding, irritable God. When God's friendlier, revolutionary son, Jesus, enters the picture, human consciousness begins.

There is nothing wrong with irrational beliefs that sustain human happiness and egalitarian civilization, i.e., the gospel of Jesus Christ. How could I ever forget my childhood friendship with Jesus and the supreme stepfather of every fatherless child? Would that make me less of a scientist? Would I have to scour the sweetness of my childhood, never to call upon or revisit that profound sense of fulfillment in order to be a rational, scientific adult?

I'm a natural born atheist/communist, civilized by the irrational, inverted (from our common DNA law of the jungle) belief system of Christianity. When expected to be atheist, I'm Christian; when expected to be Christian, I'm atheist. I'm a bispiritual man using both scientific left and big picture right cerebral hemispheres to live a balanced life halfway between the edenic wildernes and the gates of heaven, a very pleasant place where compassion cancels obligatory altruism, children are the purpose of everything, and women, the sacred source of life itself, must be treated as such. Go Trump!
