Haven't you seen their Wisconsin Capitol holiday creche which depicts the rectum-goddess giving birth to their brains on the feast of satan?

That's an insulting way to describe Religion.
The Left has a secular worldview. It is at variance with reality. I agree with much the author says, and I think the devil is behind the whole thing, but I don't think Leftism is really a religion.
It is all the excuses for taking the wrong path in life.
It is to the Antichrist.
If you believe the lie, does that mean that you are not lieing when you repeat it? I would think so.
Answer.......... is muslim a religion?
For some liberals, it absolutely is. Religiosity is a biological inclination; you have it or you don’t. Someone who is brought up faithless but is religiously inclined is going to find some other normative system in which to believe in unconditionally —their parents’ politics being readily to hand. The parents who would have brought up an irreligious child in the 1960s or 1970s are very likely to have been liberal ... so you get your preponderance of liberalism-as-religion folks. Irreligious families now are a lot more common and politically diverse so it will be interesting to see how this dynamic changes.
Dennis Prager once said to the effect ‘If you don’t believe in God do you believe in nothing? People have to believe in something. Most people can’t live their lives in a spiritual void. So when people don’t believe in God, they have to channel that belief into something else they view as their savior. Something else large, effecting their daily lives. Something they believe has the power to take care of them. Something they end up following with a fever of faith and certainy: they worship Government.’
Liberalism is a religion. Abortion is sacred and executing death row inmates is a sin.
Oh, they are indeed crazy! And their mental health is not going to be cured by phycologists or depression medications because their problem is spiritual and they refuse to acknowledge the truth. And the truth will set them free, but they refuse and remain in darkness and will not come unto the light of the world, even Jesus Christ, to be healed. The left is into insanity and the right is following them slowly but surely. When the blind lead the blind, all will fall into a ditch. And so it is. Let them believe God and His Christ and be forgiven their sins by His grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ at Calvary where He died for our sins and then rose again the third day unto everlasting life and is now ascended into the heavenlies and is at the right hand of God the Father. There He makes intercession for the sinners of the world who believe on Him for salvation and from their He will return to judge the world in their greatest hour of darkness, destroy the wicked peoples who hate and reject His free offer of salvation purchased with His own sinless blood at Calvary. And then He alone will rule over the whole earth as King from the little nation of Israel for 1000 years and then..., well, you search the Scriptures for the whole plan. Do not believe the church's or peoples who deny the Scriptures of Christ, they are liars and sinners and murderers and thieves and will give account to God in the person of Christ after their deaths. And unless a man believe the God of Israel and His testimony of Jesus Christ by the Scriptures, that person will die in sin and then be judged for their personal sins against God and cast into the lake of fire by the final Judge Jesus Christ.Ro. 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
John 3: 13And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. 22After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
Atheism is certainly a religion, look at the fervor and zeal the more radical of them go about trying to force their views and opinions on you. Secular humanism is the same way.. a religion with out the fancy trappings so to speak.
If you look at the body language of Barack Obama, which resembles that of Mussolini, you will see an arrogance in which he dismisses not just the point of view of others but their very worth as human beings. That is why he is tone deaf to the suffering of the unemployed, although he is sociopathic enough to exploit it. That is why he can take his vacations and play his golf rounds. He is special because he has a unique apprehension of ultimate truth.
Generations of leftists could overlook 100 million dead catalogued in the Black Book of Communism because it was as nothing compared to the ultimate truth. So if 6 million kulaks die in Ukraine, Walter Duranty does not see it because it does not fit. If the national health service in England is causing suffering, is not seen because the quest is not for better care but for equality of care-a greater and ultimate value.
Chairman Mao could be indifferent to the suffering and deaths of literally tens of millions which he caused because he believed that his conception of the truth was more important than their individuality. Leftism is ultimately an ego trip. It is the ultimate violation of the First commandment, it is to presume the very role of God.
Not incidentally, that is why the left is so viscerally hostile to the Judeo-Christian heritage because there is a fundamental and eternal battle between good and evil, between believers and God players.
Not incidentally, that is why there is no individual salvation to a leftist but group salvation-which Obama has time and again emphasized in his speeches. Salvation comes to the individual as and only when he submits to the group. So if Chairman Mao wants to advance his conception of a cultural revolution to shape the group, the sacrifice of individuals is nothing.
The key to understanding this is to understand that when the individual gives into the group he finds an enormous psychic release. You do not believe me, ask yourself why "they drank the Kool-Aid" became a cliché for the sublimation of the intellect to the "ultimate truth."
It’s a good article except it mischaracterizes religion. Religion does not necessarily mean one accepts statements on Sunday that fly in the face of known facts. Even though faith may involve things that are unseen, it doesn’t necessarily mean those things don’t exist, and it’s really impossible to prove otherwise. Personally? I think my religion is far, far more grounded in the reality of man and this existence than what most unbelievers believe.
Just saw on twitter Christopher Hitchens died? I hope he saw the Light before he went.
An offensive slap at Christianity. Obviously an ignorant atheist who has no concept that Christianity is the only religion based on evidence rather than superstition.
Liberalism is not a religion. It’s an ideological concentration camp.
