Why don't liberals and Democrats fully embrace atheism?

If I put myself back in the mindframe I had when I was a believer who didn’t like atheists, I have to admit that for me, my dislike stemmed from the fact that deep down I knew I didn’t believe in God either, but I had been conditioned to be ashamed of that fact, to the point that I couldn’t admit it to even myself. And that meant atheists made me feel very uncomfortable, until I got my own shit sorted out.

Interesting. I have sometimes wondered if that might be a driver of the grumpiness directed atheists’ way, but never heard a (former) theist confirm it.
