The problem many left-leaning liberals have with certain religions these days is the inability to apply a suitable level of scepticism and ethical scrutiny to them because they have been conditioned (since childhood) to unconditionally respect all things labelled "religion". If only those people (usually on the left, but often from the centre too) could bring themselves to apply the same standards of moral benchmarking to religious ideas as they do to extreme right-wing ideas, and reject them as quickly.
