Another point is that the murderer of the british politician is a mental patient, but the left still tries to associate him with Brexit and a political agenda.

What ideology? Just curious. I honestly couldn't give a fuck less about these shooters and I rarely research them. We all know why this shit happens and we all know how the MSM paints it.

From browsing Roof's Wikipedia page (I know that it isn't a fully reliable source), the only mention I can see of religion is that one pastor claimed that he went to a Lutheran church.

I've argued with people on Twitter telling me that Roof is an example of a Christian religious extremist (as part of their argument that Christianity is just as bad as Islam). No one has ever given me a source for their claim, no matter how many times I ask. Just a narrative thing, gotta keep pointing it out so that it doesn't stick.

I wouldn't say it was never mentioned. The MSM did talk about it, though they diluted it among irrelevant distractions like "toxic masculinity" and implying that his homophobia was cultural and secular instead of directly and entirely connected to his Islamic faith.

Ironically, they're summoning the demon by not even playing softball with Islam.
