What gives you the right to demand I answer your questions? The difference between me and you is I am willing to pursue my politics to their end, whereas you lack the necessary stoic masculinity to do so, and are perpetually stuck in agnostic turpitude, akin to craner.
But you are mistaken, my friend. I did answer your question. Liberal democracy cannot functionally curb the patriarchal excesses of religion, precisely because it is a metaphysics of the amorphous mass. Hence why all it can do is resort to the contempt of the enlightened élite. The only way to consciously enact this is a despotic atheist state, although the impersonal mechanisms of capital can do this unconsciously if it comforts you — it seems not though as you want to cherry pick the good bits of religion whilst failing to acknowledge it as a totalising worldview. Pussy cowardice, in other words.
In fact liberals were initially delightfully despotic, when liberating women from feudal patriarchal dependence. But as they transitioned from antiformism to reformism and conformism, they lost that despotic enthusiasm. A pitty, in fact. We really do need more liberals like Oliver Cromwell and Robespierre to teach you what is what!
