It is humorous the left has made Guy Fawks into a hero based off a fictional character in this movie, when in fact he tried to blow up the British parliament to install a Catholic theocracy...

I thought libtards hate religion, especially Catholics...

Yep, that's true. .

Guy Fawkes

Guy Fawkes, also known as Guido Fawkes, the name he adopted while fighting for the Spanish, was a member of a group of provincial English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605.

Fawkes was born and educated in York. His father died when Fawkes was eight years old, after which his mother married a recusant Catholic. Fawkes converted to Catholicism and left for the continent, where he fought in the Eighty Years' War on the side of Catholic Spain against Protestant Dutch reformers in the Low Countries. He travelled to Spain to seek support for a Catholic rebellion in England without success. He later met Thomas Wintour, with whom he returned to England.

When has the left ever thought things through to its logical conclusion?

Details, details. Movies have been screwing up people's collective memory, also known as "History", since Birth of a Nation. And the Left just keeps on stealing and distorting words, names, and history for the purpose of imposing control.
