What is it with DUmmies and religion?
The reasons are manifold:
1. Religion makes liberals feel guilty and shameful, and the ultimate enemy of the liberal lifestyle is guilt and shame. They are unhappy and defensive all of the time because they constantly must beat back feelings of guilt and shame over their lifestyle choices.
2. Religion requires one to place faith in something other than the government. Those who rely on the government for sustenance realize that faith leads to confidence, which leads to self-sustenance and industry, which in turn leads to mistrust of collectivism.
3. Religion requires the realization that there is something greater than the self. Liberals cannot bear the thought that anything can possibly be greater than themselves.
4. Religion is uncomfortable. It causes one to constantly examine his role in every social unit he occupies, and this is anathema to the liberal ideal.
That is off the top of my head.
