There are a lot of empty words in the article as it relies on a perceived stereotype of what it is means to be "liberal".

Identifying people using their "Faith" to argue against "XYZ" does not fully try to understand what their real fears or concerns are.

Religion just like optimism (or hope) can cut off critical thinking and become an excuse to not think too deeply about death.

Also your own bias maybe (maybe) interfering in trying to understand the other person's opposing bias (or point of view) in any meaningful way and even relating to the other person as a fellow human being.

As I said at the begging there is a strong reliance of a perceived stereotype of what it is to be "liberal". Therefore the article maybe (Maybe) creating a straw man argument.
