A well-written and thought out essay.
Yes, this is how the left think.
They “know” better, and they “know” that people must be forced to do what they want them to do.
Everything flows from those assumptions.
To be credible, God has to be shown. And that can be hard even on believers. They may too need drilling to do it better.
If people need to believe, a credible object of faith must be apparent.
Very well said.
