1. There's a feeling on the religious left that they're responsible for every bit of social progress.

Never mind it was the religious status quo being fought against.

Never mind that secular and atheistic progressives have been in the mix every time.

Nope, it's atheists and humanists who need to STFU lest we scare away religious people. If their commitment to a progressive cause can be dampened by atheists expressing negative opinions about religion, I kind of have to question how strong that commitment was in the first place.
