LLMs are great at cutting through a lot of right (and left) wing rhetorical nonsense.
Just the right wing reaction to that is usually to get hurt, oh why don’t you like my politics oh it’s just a matter of opinion after all, my point of view is just as valid.
Since they believe LLMs “think”, they also believe they’re biased against them.
I think right wing tends to be much less "tolerant" of live and let live, as religions are often a huge part of their "bias" and those religions often say that others must be punished for not following God's(s') path, up and including destruction of those who don't fall in line.
Everyone has a "religion" – i.e. a system of values they subscribe to.
Secular Americans are annoying because they believe they don't have one, and instead think they're just "good people", calling those who break their core values "bad people".

That is not what a religion is.

Why is that a problem to you?

No, not really. Someone is not good or bad because you agree with them. Even a religious person can recognise that an atheist doing charitable work is being good, regardless of whether they share a specific set of belief.
The attitude you describe is wrong, and from my experience much more common in religious fundamentalists than radical atheists (the vast majority of people in western democracies do not care whether you have a religion). I have never seen an atheist saying that. But I’ve had priests telling me that I had not "rejected Satan" because I was not baptised.

I follow a secular humanist moral system as best I can. I have tolerance for those who have tolerance for me. I grew up amongst fundamentalist christians and fundamentalist anything (christian, muslim, buddhist, whatever) leave a bad taste in my mouth. I don't care about your religion just don't try to force it on me or try to make me live by its moral system and you won't hear a peep out of me about what you're doing as long as it's not harming others.
