Either case i understand why that is in slide.... but somehow islamism is always showed under a carpet and always go after Christianity... Is it because neo marxism as political allegory "meaning minorities are to be protected from the majority" but by that definition what about russians? Arent they oppressed by the west now?.

So i dunno, when i hear Anti religious... they obviously mean anti christian if anything. I mean look you dont have to replace islamism with Christianity... you can pick anything else. But what do you gain from adding another abrahamic religion i am just curious?

I like Bill Maher, but just to mention one example when they say "religion is dangerous... and by that its Christianity" I guess saying religion is dangerous sounds more neutral and nicer, more less controversial to say.

Atheism is neither anti-religious nor anti-Christian.  It is simply the lack of belief in deities.

I, personally, am fundamentally anti-religion -- and I just happen to be an atheist, as well.  
But the two are not strongly connected for me; I was anti-religion long before I realized I was an atheist.

Being anti-religion, I am apposed to religions in general.

Being an American, however, that tends to manifest in more visible anti-Christian sentiment (as opposed to, say, anti-Islamic, anti-Judaic, anti-Hindu, etc. sentiment).  This is because, as an American, the most visible and dominant religion I see behaving vilely from day-to-day, and the one which locally claims the most loud-mouthed defenders seeking to impose their unwanted views on me and mine, happens to be Christianity.

So, really, it's a simple matter of proximity.
