Why does atheism attract more people of the political left (far, far, left, in many instances) rather than conservatives.

I’ve actually asked that question of people when I hear them say something like this, out loud, in a group. I mean, do they ever really consider the possibility that one of those people they’re pontificating to may be an atheist? Of course not because that would tip their world off it’s ais for them to know that one of their friends (or relatives!) is an atheist.
