The thing is that it's a hard balancing act between caring a lot about misogynist and homophobic attitudes in a religion, and caring a lot about religious prejudice against that religion. Especially when it really is a sub-philosophy of the religion that harbors those attitudes, and when, frankly, some people use criticism of those attitudes as a cover for prejudice (not you, or anyone in this thread, but it does happen).

Maybe progressive circles do err on the side of defending the religion. But it would be hard for it to be done perfectly, because it's a really hard line to walk, and people aren't perfect, and organizations and broad movements less so. And I think that's an important thing to do even though obviously it doesn't justify overlooking anti-Semitism and homophobia.

I personally find hostile misogyny and homophobia to be more pressing than prejudice against religion. The latter definitely bothers me too - I've experienced it - but at the same time, much of the time those prejudices are rooted in very bad experiences, it's hard to see that not all Christians/Muslims/etc. are sexist or homophobic or otherwise hateful when the loud ones are always shouting that they are and that the whole group believes this etc., and of course, religious beliefs are a choice, while gender, sexuality, race, and ethnicity are not.
