Many liberals tolerate religion Heretic, others do hate it because of the horrors religions have produced over the years (the actions of the right wing extremists for example). I consider myself in the tolerant side, because despite the many downfalls of religion, it also provides people hope, a sense of community and belonging, and a kind assurance that science admittedly doesn't provide. Sure, any one given religion is unlikely to be true, and they may all be wrong, who knows. But a lot of people are very fearful of the unknown, which is why religion can be a very good thing as it keeps them happy and sane in a lot of cases. Some people just can't handle the reality of our world, it's too big and scary. But I agree that freedom of and from religion is a fundamental human right, and no one, liberal or conservative, can take that away or should take that away.
