It is curious how expressions of hatred for Christianity are acceptable in certain quarters where hatred of Islam is unacceptable. Presumably because the latter is regarded as bigotry while the former is not.
Not sure how people purporting to be champions of reason square that circle. Something to do with race? Which will be an odd stance to take as Christianity becomes majority non-white. I expect animus towards the Church will be less socially acceptable once the college of cardinals selects a Black pontiff (which is one of the reasons it’s a near-certainty).

Liberation Theology was one of the driving forces of socialism in Latin America in the 60s-80s, but it seems to have disappeared from the popular consciousness.
