religion is a really easy to see abusive hierarchy that well off white people can get oppressed by, and religious bullshit is a proximate cause for a lot of problems polite liberals are supposed to care about. A bunch of people just stop there and don't become skeptical atheists, fewer still apply those tools to our own biases and the status quo of society to become intersectional feminists, and few enough of those apply it to the very foundations of our society to become communists.
It wasn't just 9/11, there was also the catholic sex abuse scandal getting big in the early 2000s and stuff like answering "jedi" on the census was taking off in the UK prior to america's chickens coming home.
having so recently lost abortion rights and with the hegemonic army of christendom champing at the bit to put us in camps i should hope generic pro-religious sentiment would get owned. for every that one guy catching a charge to let homeless people sleep in his church there are millions of zealots who want to kill me and my friends.
