    Religion has been behind so much discrimination over the centuries. I, as a leftist, will never care to not offend religion.

    Also I’m very strongly of the opinion that being a leftist is about ending capitalism. The acceptance/bigotry spectrum is a different axis. And while ending bigotry is an important fight, it’s a separate one from ending capitalism.

      Religion is not and has not been particularly different from ideology historically.

      Online Marxism really demonstrates that with the read “theory”(scripture). But of course it’s just as true on the right, not only for religious texts.
