Of course you are going to find some hypocrisy and inconsistency in any group. Conservatives like to point out some fringe views and paint all liberals with a broad brush. I too am against religion in general (there are a few I respect even though I don't believe they are literally true). I think the world would be a better place if all religions were relegated to the dustbin of history.
The vast majority of people in the world (84% according to PEW) believe in some form of religion and the core of most religions involves proper behavior on earth to achieve rewards in the afterlife. Those who display intolerance and violence represent a sliver of a fraction of that population. So, you believe removal of a belief system that teaches people to live good lives on earth would make the world a better place? Really?
He equates the posting of the Ten Commandments to be in line with putting together a nail bomb and setting it off and he seems to be under the impression that liberals are open minded, wanting everyone around them to simply live as they want and believe what they want.
In other words, it is impossible to take him seriously.
