It's crazy how hostile atheists are to progressive Christians

There is a progressive politician (Wes Moore) who invoked Christ to defend his opposition to Trump in an interview. The comments are atrocious. People call him mentally ill, mock him, and are generally aggressive. These aren't conservatives. These people are supposedly on the left and agree with him on 99% of the big issues. He's not even a fundamentalist Christian or conservative himself. It's so confusing. While Christians aren't oppressed nationwide, they are in progressive spaces.
