11. Well, I do think that they are somewhat incompatible
From the Encyclopædia Britannica

"liberalism

political philosophy emphasizing the value of individual liberty and the role of the state in protecting the rights of its citizens.

Liberalism does not lend itself to easy definition. A major difficulty is that, with some exceptions, liberals have shunned dogma, preferring generally a pragmatic to a doctrinaire approach to social problems."

Therefore, most dogmatic religions are naturally opposed to liberalism.
