After years of this kind of reaction, it’s clear that the lofty virtue of left-wing tolerance only goes one way. Indeed, even pointing out the hypocrisy of “” is banal.intolerant left wing“- They don’t care. But it’s worth noting how they got this way and why Christians in particular bear the brunt of their wrath.

The American Left’s original distaste for Christianity is rooted in the idea of a separation between church and state. In many cases, at least initially, their opposition was clearly well-intentioned.For example, the famous scope monkey trial A 1925 court tried to overturn a ban on teaching evolution in public schools. In retrospect, not too many Americans, even devoutly religious people, would object to this practice.
What the Left does not understand is that the separation of Church and State and the founding intent is to protect people’s religious freedom to practice their faith as they see fit without government interference. There was. It was clearly not intended to completely eliminate Christian values from the public sphere. In the late 20th century, the lines between these two interpretations blurred as the Left waged a legal battle against Christianity.
of Everson v. Board of Education (1947) The Supreme Court held that the separation of church and state applies not only to the federal government, but also to state and local governments. Engel vs Vitale (1962) held that it was unconstitutional to require morning prayers in schools, but courts devised a notorious law. lemon test By 1971, legal coordination between government and religion had virtually disappeared.
All of these landmark decisions were framed by the Left as a benevolent effort to make public squares neutral for all. By this time, however, a positively hostile view of Christianity had become more evident in the New Left of the 1960s.
A critical view of Christianity has painted it in a revisionist light. The New Left sees Christianity as an institution linked to oppressive institutions, arguing that throughout history Christianity has been used to justify discrimination, colonialism, and social inequality. Seen in this light, opposition to Christianity arose from the belief that the dismantling of religious structures was necessary to challenge historical injustice and alleviate oppression.
This sentiment was famously expressed in the writings of the Marxist philosopher Herbert Marcuse. hello”oppressive toleranceand discussed how the influential actors in society called for the widespread application of tolerance to maintain the status quo. Instead, he called for a “tolerance emancipation” that called for a “withdrawal of tolerance” from all conservative forces in society and an active promotion of left-wing views.
In other words, the construction of a new utopia required the destruction of the old order, and those who prevented it, especially pious Christians, were unacceptable.
Thus, the left’s dirty secret is that it never wanted to coexist with religion. For the Left, there is no religion in politics. Because for them politics is religion itself. (Related: Mad professor in New York City reveals the real reason the Left is so angry)
Christians believe in living a moral life so that they can go to heaven. Leftists believe they will use governments to build heaven on earth. That is the ultimate goal of the Left, and it calls for everyone in society to participate. All human individualism must be subordinated to the pursuit of this goal. Utopia cannot be reached unless everyone thinks and acts alike.
But replacing God with a secular ideology is something a Christian can never do. That is why the left must destroy them.
