Democrats still haven’t faced their God problem

Actually, it does. Liberal secularists have been fighting conservative Christians in the culture war for a century.
This is embodied in the quote from the 1960s I think that tyranny in the US will come carrying a Bible and waving an American flag in nationalist price and the Handmaiden book where liberals see their biggest fear, Christian theocracy, rising up. They’ve been taught that Christians are secretly wannabe-Taliban.
They use Muslims as an ally to tear down Christianity, the ability to say “see, THESE monotheists agree with our demands, so you can’t say it is hatred of religion”. And Muslims vote Democrat to get their goodies, so Democrats think they are allies.
Multiculturalism also forbids criticizing Islam’s track record of oppression of women, religious minorities, sexual minorities. And liberals are hindered by the expectation that Muslims will convert to liberalism just as many Christians did. Thus they ignore Islam’s current day theocracies from Iran to Saudi Arabia to Boko Haram as something education to progressivism will solve.
This is why liberal secularists are terrified of the boogeyman of an oppressive Christian theocracy but actively work to give in more and more to Muslims theocratic demands (footbaths in airports, letting them refuse to ring up alcohol, Muslim prayer rooms in schools and workplaces, non-reporting of Muslim rapes of non-Muslims, blaming their religious terrorism on everything but the ideology).
