Firstly, it's good you recognize the negative aspects of extreme liberal ideology.
I study in a relatively 'neutral' university (neither liberal nor conservative) but when I was in school most of my classmates were irreligious. Generally I avoided talking about religion, and when they were expressing harmful ideas I disagreed giving reasons why, without invoking religion by name. The moment you use 'religion' in any such discussion, the discussion is already over as they will view you as an extremist bigot.
But the best thing is to avoid talking to them. There is enough academic pressure in university so you have to stop worrying about others, start worrying about yourself.
