It's the American way they really hate, not religion.

Oh, it's not even the American way. You can be a perfectly good democrat and worship anything from Quetzalcóatl to your dirty sock and it's a non issue. You'll notice a certain singlemindedness when it comes to who the left/atheists get worked up about...

It's that whole nasty Jesus business that causes problems for them.

They didn't have a problem with Jesus when "liberation theology" was invoked by Marxist rebels in Central America. (Fortunately pope John-Paul did , and he put an end to that nonsense!)
