I’m old enough to remember when the left used to be Atheists and huge supporters of people like Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher. Are there any cultural studies of when they shifted back to religious tolerance, and why Islam in particular? I’d be interested in reading about that.
The Bill Maher who said Palestine Never Existed?
This is part of the social justice reforms and movements over the last half century. Equity and diversity? Intersectionality? Tolerance? All that! When was the left atheist? During the Bolsheviks? Being against Christian Fascism in the US hardly makes the worldwide politics atheist!
It varies based on who, when, and where, but I would say that it was probably around the 1960s when the overall narrative departed from “opiates of the masses” to a more nuanced and holistic approach to social reforms. You still have your hardline MLs today too, who believe in class reduction, but that’s hardly the dominant worldview
MLs?
Marxist-Leninists, like hammer and sickle waving types who wish to emulate the USSR or Maoist China.
