    for thousands of years, support for the needy was provided
    by local religious institutions and local efforts.

For thousands of years, inadequate support was provided. People used to die in the streets. Furthermore, such support has historically not been provided to unpopular minorities, unless you consider slavery "support".

    Here come the neo-liberals. Anything even remotely related
    to religion needs to be eradicated

Show me a single poll of which the results show that more than 2% of participants want "anything even remotely related to religion" to be "eradicated".

    Now we tax the shit out of anything that moves 

Okay, now I think you're just trolling.
