Why do some progressive Democrats ignore bigotry and intolerance in religions?

42. I'll concur with others who have said

that without better examples, this is such a general and vague criticism that I don't know how to respond or what you are really asking.

Why do some people who consider themselves moral in one area do things that are immoral in another area is really what you are asking from what I can tell, and it applies to all humans.

We are profess to having a general morality, and many of us also have a really significant moral area that we draw the line more than most.

"I really hate dishonesty!" or "I can't stand a thief!"

Yet, usually, those folks will violate even that moral area and then argue why their violation is different or why it's not really a violation.

Generally speaking, the things that religions might do that anger a progressive end up being the very things you listed as ordinarily being called out: racism, sexism, and homophobia...or generally bigotry.

I don't know of a ton of examples of progressives saying that it's ok to be any of those things if you have a religious basis for it. I see anti-abortion/anti-contraception/no female priests called out for the Catholics. Evangelicals get called out on the regular. And even Islam gets called out. Perhaps less than the others but there's a couple of reasons for that. Lack of familiarity, and a sense that Muslims in this country are already being beaten metaphorically by the far right so adding on to it might not be the right move right now.
