It would be hypocritical to say 'You can't force me to be religious or conservative but I can force you to be atheist or left-wing.'

By saying, 'I must respect your right to believe & live as you see fit but you must respect mine too' no factions are privileged.

In this sense, neither left nor right, religious nor secular ppl own liberalism. Its exists independently & is opposed to authoritarianism.

And if u consider it authoritarian to say 'If u force me to live according to your beliefs, you face legal consequences' I can't help you.

The only alternative then is a system in which every1 can live as they wish & also force others to live their way. Then might wins out.

When you say "liberalism" are you defending a classical liberal view? It's a term which is used very loosely these days

Classical liberalism, with its call for a limited government, is generally considered to be on the right, in modern terms

I haven't called for a limited government. I've spoken of freedom and equal opportunity.

Supported by plenty on both. The moderate centre-left & centre-right need to work together & oppose 'far'ness
