Something unnecessary that is done far too often by immature, unintelligent people who feel the need to put a label on everything and cannot accept that not everything fits into their cookie cutter images.
One example of such ridiculous is found in the top definition of the term "libtard" (wow, what an intellectual, mature argument against liberalism lol). According to this definition, the politically liberal are all bound to Hell, unless they agree 100% with every single thing that that the definer and his political party say.
It's so funny how they accuse atheists (and anybody who is religious and liberal, which for some reason is the same as being an atheist to these immature conflators) of not being patriotic, but then will go up to bash about how liberals and atheists are "ruining America" and will bitch and moan about America's current state... but when liberals say that America is great now and can get even better by learning a thing or two form other countries... then suddenly they're antiAmerican communists?

For examples of the immature conflation of religion and politics, just look at the vast majority of definitions on here :) Lol.
Due to the conflation of religion and politics, people honestly think that being a conservative Republican who votes for George Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Donald Trump will get them into Heaven.
No, "conservative" does not automatically mean "religious" which does not automatically mean "spiritual" which does not automatically mean "Christian" because:
1. There are multiple religions.
2. There are people of multiple political alignments in each religion.
3. Spirituality is often very different from straight up religion.
4. Politics are the most materialistic and manmade system, whereas spirituality/religion AT LEAST IN THEORY is supposed to be a search for the greater truth.
5. Jesus, who was all about letting people into his home, I really doubt would approve of profiling, bashing, and putting a border to stop Mexicans from coming into America.
But of course, neoconservatives will continue to assume that they are the only Christians and, according to them, atheists and liberal Christians and Jews are all one and the same, despite the fact that they have DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT VIEWS ON RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY!
And this is why we can't have nice things *Sigh*

1. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - even though 60% of Australian's believe in the right for gays and lesbians to marry he doesn't - it's his personal view that they are not equal citizens. He is a practicing catholic/anglican (yeah he does both).
Example: Kevin Rudd is a religious skank because he uses his position within his party to justify muting all discussions within his party about same sex marriage and then claiming that it is party policy.
2. Australian Opposition Leader Tony Abbott - in his previous position as health minister he rejected the abortion pill RU-486, eventually forcing a rare conscience vote in February 2006 on the matter which stripped him of his powers (the drug is now available). Tony Abbott is a practicing catholic.
