Religion IS ideology. It’s SUPPOSED to permeate one’s life, dictating by doctrine everything one does. The Left has worked long & hard to ingrain the notion “separation of church and state/business/society/etc” to the point that nobody is supposed to act on their faith (whatever it is) outside designated religion zones.
And in dealing with this issue, we must take a good look at our own religion & doctrine, and what it says about interacting with those who differ. I’m concerned too many are abandoning their own axioms, becoming that which they ostensibly oppose. (I’m not saying we should submit to trampling, I’m saying we’ll get better results if we adhere to core principles.) That includes being “good Samaritans”, showing faith by good works, respecting assorted freedoms & rights, driving out heretics & traitors, and “love thy enemy” while at the same time forcefully stopping him from harming you & yours. There IS a balance; there ARE bright lines; beware “destroy the village to save it”.
