Self-proclaimed Center Left bias
Damon clearly expresses his bias (we applaud such transparency), considering himself "center left" in this opinion piece), and his stances on various issues (some described in "I'm not a Democrat. I'm an anti-Republican") is consistent with his self-rating as left of center. He is a senor correspondent at The Week (rated Lean Left).

The great creationism debate left little to admire on either side. As some of you may have noticed, I delight in pointing out the dogmatism and dishonesty of contemporary atheism. But I hope it's equally clear that I don't do so in the name of any particular faith. Rather, what provokes me in the writings of such atheists as Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and Jerry Coyne is their style of thinking, which often resembles a counter-fundamentalism more than it does a genuinely open-minded mode of reflection on the enduring mysteries of human life and existence.
