I thought it was an atheist's job to hate religion.
You thought wrong.

I experienced a truly marvelous sermon last Sunday, built upon Genesis 16:7 and the first half of 16:8:
The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur. And he said, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?”
When it was over, I turned to the woman who happened to be sitting beside me and said "Now that's how you deliver a sermon."

Pretty sure you would have hated it.
 
The DSA criticized AOC. They said that she "conflated anti-Zionism with antisemitism." In other words, they criticized her for what you are doing.
I can see why that annoys you, but it is far from proving your point that DSA are "crazies" and "don't like Jews."
Democratic Socialists of America (Wikipedia)
Over the months after the Gaza war began, various DSA chapters and DSA rank-and-file members and public officials organized and participated in protests and vigils alongside Jewish and Palestinian advocacy groups, including Jewish Voice for Peace, IfNotNow, and Students for Justice in Palestine, in support of a ceasefire and Palestine.
Stop spamming the thread with your irrelevant lies.
 
Anybody remember when right-wingers were totally cool with Tucker Carlson and the like pushing Great Replacement Theory and blowing other antisemitic dog whistles? It wasn't that long ago.

In fact, they never stopped.
Watching Fox News increases belief in “Great Replacement” hokum (Salon, June 4, 2026)
In our newly published, peer-reviewed study, we used nationally representative panel survey data that tracked over 500 white Americans over time to attempt to answer this question.
We found that white Americans who identified as Republican, who are conservatives and who have negative views of people from other racial backgrounds are all more likely to express support for key tenets of the great replacement theory. Moreover, we uncovered clear evidence that white Americans who watch Fox News are also more likely to agree with the conspiracy theory.
 
Note one of her other "sins" according to the DSA nutbars:
The DSA would be happy if Israel ceased to exist. Any doubt this would be the final solution?
Much the same way (most!) people were happy when Apartheid South Africa ceased to exist.
(Which I can inform you that it did, in case you haven't noticed.)

It's still happening. Their support for Israel is conditional on Jesus not coming back and giving them free rein to finish the holocaust.
 
They may not endorse her, but I love the way AOC handles questions about the Democratic Socialists of America!
'I DON’T CARE’: AOC Cooks DSA-Haters In Brutal Response! (Secular Talk on YouTube, July 28, 2026 – 12:22 min.)


1:09–> Reporter: When your colleagues tell me TSA is a communist organization, what do you make of that? How those words are used interchangeably on the right?
AOC: I just don't care. [laughs] I think these folks call everyone they don't like a communist.
And it gets even better when she is asked about the Red Scare:
3:44–> Reporter: But isn't there concern that you know this slippery slope towards socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism? No concern about America turning into a communist country in like a year?
AOC: I think that that's, I think it's very silly. Just think about how impossible it has been to raise the minimum wage in America in 10, 15, 20 years. We can't even raise the minimum wage. Do Republicans really think that this stuff is going to happen? No, they don't. They're trying to scare people because they don't want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to healthcare in this country. So they want to call it communist and they want to call everything they don't like communist because if people actually wake up to the to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here then they're going to realize that they deserve better.
I may have got details wrong so listen to it for yourselves.

And there's this woman supporting the same argument.
She SHUTS DOWN the "Socialized Healthcare" (YouTube short, July 26, 2026 – 28 sec.)
It's not far left, this idea that it is too far left for us to have some form of universal health care. That's not far left!
Every single country in the World Cup has universal health care – except us. Like, that's not a far-left position. That's a pretty general world position.
It's not far left to be able to say, 'I want to be able to work a job and be able to afford a place to live and food.'
It's not far left to say that you want to stay home with your baby when they're born and take care of them and have paid family leave and affordable school when they're grown up.
That's not far left!


It's not even far left to have entirely free!!! quality school and quality college education.
I would have thought that even 'trad wives' would approve of staying home and taking care of babies, but they are probably not allowed to say so.
