No matter how opressive the behaviour that many of it's adherents engage it, it is anathema to criticize them, or their religion.

Seems like many can't live without being a champion of someone they believe is oppressed. If one does not exist, they will create one.

Bashing Christianity and Christians is perfectly fine with people since the creation of Marxism. Not to mention the self-hatred that many on the Left have for the West and their own Western Cultures in specific.
