It is clear that some religions are worse than others: Muslim women are much more oppressed than Christian or Jewish women in their own countries, and you get more innate freedoms being Christian than being practically any other religion.
So, why do we, as leftists, as liberals, treat all religions equally?

I treat all religions equally because I understand that religion is a tool - and not a cause of oppression. Moreover, participating in the fear, hatred, and hysteria about a particular group only creates more danger for them. That is, in your battle to (supposedly) "combat oppression", you contribute to it.
