An atheist, marxist Liberty?

Dear Liberty Editor,

Although I enjoy reading Liberty, I'm worried about R. W. Bradford! Not only does he characterize belief in God as "irrational" (Reflections, p. 11) but he suggests libertarians adopt a class warfare approach of courting the "underclass" against the "elites" who supposedly exploit them (Reflections, p. 16). Aligning libertarianism with atheism and marxism would not only sell out its most precious precepts, but is a sure-fire way to guarantee the movement (justly in that case) stays safely in the backwaters of American politics.
