The opposite of separating the author from their work

One thing I don’t understand, is all the people who saber rattle about brian Sanderson, simply because he’s a Mormon who pays his tithing (in his religion he is obligated to, otherwise he becomes a member in bad standing)… yet all these people have no problem whatsoever with authors who happen to be catholic, or any number of christian denominations… when 90% of ‘christian’ churches have the same views on the same issues people dislike Sanderson for. Never understood that.

“I refuss to read Sanderson because he tithes his 10%, and the LDS church doesn’t support LGBT… even though Sanderson personally supports them and includes them in his works now… But, omg I love this series from author X, who is catholic, pays his tithing, do therefore he is evil because the catholic church opposes abortion and has nearly identical views on lgbt issues..”

I don’t get the selective hate
