Yeah.. it's tricky and I admit, it requires a bit of mental gymnastic, but I think it's possible to work around faith to make due with what you know.
Let's be honest. Ultimately, it will not be possible to be REALLY materialistic and believe in souls and spirits and god. At the end of the tunnel, there is the absence of Free Will and from that, I don't see how it is possible to believe in those things without big contradictions and paradoxes.
BUT
This is not a level required to understand the world and end most of oppressions at the moment.
What we need right now, is simply people who are able to understand the basic materialistic logic and the fact that our societies are structured by big systems of dominations in which we participate and benefit or not, and the relationships and intersections of those system of dominations on people in function of their material conditions of existence.
No need to go really too far into materialism for now.
I'm opposed to the system. It's the opposite of being a democrat.

Your scale is wrong, then…believe me, real leftists view mainstream liberals in the exact same way as we do all conservatives; most elected Democrats are so acquiescent to the Republican agenda and refuse to push back on anything, that reeks of complicity and allyship to me 
Leftist/Democrats/Liberals... I generalize when I use those specific words. So fine that's on me.
What you described (I don't know what is your country) is the shifting of the overton Window. It's something that happened everywhere in the world since 2001 (and a bit before for some country).
From the left, to the right.
Yes, I know. The overton window moved. 95 % of people moved to the right. That's why it's a fundamental problem. For people like you now, those who were conservatists 20 years ago are now leftists and those who were liberals are now far leftist.
This means that those who were normal leftists at the time (not even radical) are now considered by peoplel like you as revolutionnary and terrorist and you can't even understand people who are radical leftist like me because you would need to create a new word.
And since I'm mostly pacifist, you have hard time to understand me and you are forced to explain that I'm ultra dangerous even tho I'm spreading only positive values.
But what you don't understand, is that if conservatists are now the leftists. It also means that fascists of 20 years ago are now the rightists.
This should make you understand where you stand. At least if you have a bit of logic and political understanding.
