the faithapologists just need time to do some google-fu and come up with some obscure secular group which hates lefties then pretend the teacher is one of those and just faking the devil-speak to confuse the issue.

Rest assured, despite what religious people claim and demonstrate as their motivation, nothing bad is ever really religiously motivated. Now charity on the other hand is always religiously motivated even, if like at least 3 of the world's top 5 philanthropists, the givers claim to be nonbelievers. That's religiously motivated by family influence or cultural osmosis. But bad stuff? Never.
