Not really, lots of atheists support Islam, just look at Obama and many other democrats.
Atheists don't support any made up storybook character who supposedly lives in the sky, they have a logical thought train and have no need for such ridiculous concepts.

This is what I oppose, not Christians but the belief that some 3,500 year old book written by 'Israelis' telling us Israel is God's land should be taken as the literal truth and should influence US foreign policy, that somehow Israel's interests are one and the same as American interests and inextricably linked.
Instead the conservative Christians help the poor and sick through non-profit organizations instead of through the government. Since when does Jesus care about cell phones? Churches are ALWAYS sending people on mission trips to help the needy. I don't think helping through the SECULAR government is what Jesus had in mind. Your logic is very flawed.
No, they're sending people on mission trips to preach to the needy...Now, I'm not a total cynic. I'm sure that many are motivated in part by the opportunity to do some good, but if they were doing it only out of their goodness of their hearts, their charity wouldn't be delivered with a heaping portion of proselytizing. It's easier to try to push religion on people when they are vulnerable (Yes, Muslims do it all the time as well) and i have yet to see any religious charity who's ultimate motive isn't seeking to further the interests of their particular religion.
It's called ulterior motives. There are always strings attached.

What is your experience with mission work? Explain in detail.
Why do so many of them, especially the liberal ones, embrace Islam???
I do not embrace any religion, I think they are all a colossal waste of time. I think people should be able to practice their religion though, as long as they keep it to themselves, do not preach to others, and stay within the laws of the country they are in. Forcing religion on children when they can't legally consent should be illegal, though.
Not quite true. The Christian Left is not about denomination at all, and encompasses those who are profoundly Christian, Christian by culture, but only only consider themselves spiritual, and those with faith or no faith whatsoever. The Christian Left is about like minded Christians and even non-Christians who believe that the Christian faith has been hijacked by the Religious Right. Actually, the Christian Left welcomes those individuals who feel marginalized by the Religious Right. Everyone, except for trolls, is welcome in The Christian Left. (The Christian Left Facebook page has a strict troll free policy.) While individual denominations may be in decline, The Christian Left movement is a growing one. It has been featured in the media, and expect it to become a growing factor in national elections, especially the 2016 Presidential election.
Being tolerant of other faiths, being inclusive of other faiths in our society does not make one Anti Christian.
To my mind, these are the people Op is talking about; Progressives have gone so postmodern that their "churches" are now post-Christ.

Please provide evidence that liberals are converting to islam in substantial numbers.
