"It's straightforwardly against the basic principles of Western liberalism to hate a religion as such. Hate the cultural institutions by which that religion is practiced all you want, but that's a tremendously important distinction to maintain."

Bullshit, liberals attack Christianity and Mormonism all the time.

I don't think that's accurate. I think liberals are critical of specific cultural features of Christian and Mormon religious institutions. I don't think they're criticizing Christianity as Christianity or Mormonism as Mormonism. Which, again, that's the basic distinction I'm making all through here.

I think the only people who are criticizing Christianity and Mormonism as such are "new atheists" and I think they're just illiberal on this specific issue, and also wrong, and also like it's just it's own thing.
