That has not been my impression. Who is the most prominent example? Some of the most prominent figures I know of were Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris - all prominent right-wing figures who were rewarded for using atheism to attack Islam in particular during the Iraq War.

I don't believe any of these people are relevant or prominent, but the unimportant people I was thinking of were bloggers like PZ Myers, I think they called themselves "Atheism+" or something.

Are they? That's um, a scientist whose pop book on genetics I read once, a guy I read in The Nation once, and a guy whose book on Buddhism I read once. I remember the first two evolving into GenX curmudgeons (probably the lead poisoning) and have never thought about the last one again. Still, those aren't the right-wingers I'm familiar with.
