"I'm secular, but, uh, I support Hamas..."

Here is a chunk of a great article by liberal Chris Hitchens from the very liberal Slate.com called Bush's Secularist Triumph emphasis mine

...So here is what I want to say on the absolutely crucial matter of secularism. Only one faction in American politics has found itself able to make excuses for the kind of religious fanaticism that immediately menaces us in the here and now. And that faction, I am sorry and furious to say, is the left. From the first day of the immolation of the World Trade Center, right down to the present moment, a gallery of pseudointellectuals has been willing to represent the worst face of Islam as the voice of the oppressed. How can these people bear to reread their own propaganda? Suicide murderers in Palestine—disowned and denounced by the new leader of the PLO—described as the victims of "despair." The forces of al-Qaida and the Taliban represented as misguided spokespeople for antiglobalization. The blood-maddened thugs in Iraq, who would rather bring down the roof on a suffering people than allow them to vote, pictured prettily as "insurgents" or even, by Michael Moore, as the moral equivalent of our Founding Fathers. If this is liberal secularism, I'll take a modest, God-fearing, deer-hunting Baptist from Kentucky every time, as long as he didn't want to impose his principles on me (which our Constitution forbids him to do)...

There are many young adults in our country who have problems with religion (many learn it in College). This has been highlighted in the wake of the election.

Why, though, as a reaction to this doubt or hatred of religion do they become socialists and anarchists? Why is it that these same socialists and anarchists - who mock and shun religion here in the United States - support Hamas, the PLO, and all other terrorist organizations?
The answer is obvious - the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Anti-American groups have preyed upon the strong emotions of our youth's doubts and misgivings about religion to convert them to their cause - their far Left cause. That's what demagogues do - they fuel one's strong emotions with the hope that this will drown out one's logic and reasoning.

How else do you explain ardent secularists supporting the most religiously fanatical organizations ever to exist?

You can only explain it if you don't call them secularists anymore.

Wake up rebellious youth of this country, you are being used by socialists and communists.
