    It seems like liberals blaming ‘religion’ is what happens when they are either forced to confront material reality or throw up their hands and pretend things are too complicated to understand.

      It’s a way to deal with cognitive dissonance. If they consult the material reality behind these conflicts they’d have to face up against the fact their countries are supporting a supremacist ethnostate that is committing genocide. They’d rather pretend that both sides are equally blinded by religion than see the imbalance.
