Progressives can’t go after religion while claiming to be tolerant. Also it’s not a battle they can win as there are far less progressives than people that believe in godBecause Maher is a militant atheist above all. And progressives shield religions for some reason. They are one of his biggest detractors. Even the non-religious ones. And any atheist can tell you that the hypocrisy of progressives supporting religions that are conservative and very intolerant (just because they are a minority) is one of the biggest enigmas in politics.
Maher is a hypocrite bastard, he supports Jews stealing Palestinian lands because god told them it’s their lands but regularly insults other religions in the name of atheism.Because Maher is a militant atheist above all.

To be fair Maher is Jewish and obviously an ardent Zionist so that’s not entirely surprising. I view him the same way I view Ben ShapiroMaher is a hypocrite bastard, he supports Jews stealing Palestinian lands because god told them it’s their lands but regularly insults other religions in the name of atheism.
Shapiro is a practicing Jew, I can understand him. Maher is a hardcore atheist who view religion illogical but at the same time supports people who move from around the world to steal land in Palestine because god told them it’s their land. He can support that, but needs to stfu about religion.To be fair Maher is Jewish and obviously an ardent Zionist so that’s not entirely surprising. I view him the same way I view Ben Shapiro
I’m not trying to sound condescending but you can be a Zionist and not be religiously Jewish. Zionism is a political ideology rather than a religious one. It’s just masked as a religious ideology to justify the occupation of Palestinian landShapiro is a practicing Jew, I can understand him.

I know that sxb, I’m just pointing out his hypocrisy. He calls other folks religious beliefs primitive and illogical but at the same time is ok with people who say god gave them a piece of land thousand of years ago.I’m not trying to sound condescending but you can be a Zionist and not be religiously Jewish.

They do go after religion though, they reserve all the smoke for the majority religion but actively protect minority ones (which isn't the same as not going after them). Even though the beliefs of the minority religions they are protecting diametrically oppose their liberal views and wouldn't tolerate them in return if they were in the minority. You either have principles or you don't. It's just funny how they butt heads with atheists who reserve the smoke for ALL religions. Progressives have fucked up on this one. IMO, because they chose to make this calculated choice so they should accept reactionary atheists (like Maher) leaning to the right.Progressives can’t go after religion while claiming to be tolerant.
