Political and cultural activities
In addition to his success as a TV producer and businessman, Lear is an outspoken supporter of First Amendment and liberal causes. The only time that he did not support the Democratic candidate for President was in 1980.[23] He supported John Anderson because he considered the Carter administration to be “a complete disaster.”[23]

In 1981, Lear founded People For the American Way (PFAW), a progressive advocacy organization. PFAW ran several advertising campaigns opposing the interjection of religion in politics.[24] Lear has long been a vocal critic of the ideas held by the Religious Right and has advocated for the advancement of secularism...

In 2004, Lear established Declare Yourself, a national nonpartisan, nonprofit campaign created to empower and encourage eligible 18- to 29-year-olds in America to register and vote. Since then, it has registered almost 4 million young people and contributed significantly to the unprecedented turnout of young voters...

2015 Iran nuclear deal
Lear was one of 98 “prominent members of Los Angeles’ Jewish community” that signed an open letter supporting the proposed nuclear agreement between Iran and six world powers led by the United States. The letter called for the resolution of the bill, warning that the killing of the agreement by Congress would be a “tragic mistake”.

It wasn't really "religion" that they hated.

It was Christianity, which directly opposes his atheistic, leftist agenda.

Lear is a leftist, atheistic jew who hates my values and the values that made America great.

I consider PFAW a hate group.
