Bias?

I try to write from a neutral point of view, I however have strong views on certain ethical questions. I am a:

• negative atheist, empirical agnostic, and physicalist;
• secular humanist and follower of the 5 Buddhist precepts;
• Green party voter;
• vegan;
• minimal car user (except for about 10 days a year for work and school); and
• childfree: "No single raindrop believes it is to blame for the flood.".

If these positions make my writing biased, either because I'm not noticing my bias or overcompensating, please tell me.

• 100 (blank) for the rest for holding deal breaker positions. Eventho Kurt M. Weber and Gregory Kohs received by far the worst subject scores according to my personal voting criteria (a 98 and 85, a 80 and 99), the others crossed lines that made me incapable of voting for them in good conscience.

Winner: Ting Chen (Wing).
