We hate Christians and Christianity. Even the best of them must be considered our worst enemies. They teach love of one’s neighbor and mercy, which is against our principles. Christian love is an impediment to the development of the revolution. Down with love of our neighbor—what we want is hatred; we must know how to hate. Only then shall we conquer the universe.The left has been threatening the annihilation of the right for over 1½ centuries. This has been the goal no matter what form the left takes (communism, national socialism etc.) When The Naked Communist stated that the goal of Marx and Marxism was to “create a race of human beings conditioned to think like criminals”, that was no joke.
— Anatoly Lunacharsky, first USSR education commissar
Curious thing, the left uses "love of neighbor" to promote second place for Christians.
