Many liberals celebrated when Hamtramck, Michigan, elected a Muslim-majority council in 2015
Did they? I remember that happening, I don't remember the celebrating.
The celebration was assumed. See, Republicans always make a habit of hating anything that Democrats like, so the feeble minded journo with a looming deadline and no solid leads will assume the reverse is also true. Thus, because Republicans hate Muslims and want to eject them from any form of government, they'd assume Democrats must always celebrate whenever Muslims get majority control of some government body.
I'm being less sarcastic than I would like to, here.
I'll try to be generous and say that maybe some misguided people on the left were celebrating this, believing it was a win for diversity, but it sure wasn't widespread.
It's like the homeopathy of progressiveness. Just the tiniest, most ineffectual dose imaginable. Like "Sure they're far right theocratic zealots who want to crush women and queer folk, but at least these ones are brown!"
Republican propaganda, liberals don't feel betrayed. Liberals want separation on church and state that includes all churches not just Christianity.
It's almost as if the answer is to stop voting anyone with a clearly abrahamic based religious agenda into power.

anyone with a clearly ~~abrahamic based~~ religious agenda
Exactly. There are plenty of cults pretending to be science instead of the religion they actually behave like
Don’t elect cultist nut jobs
Islam is so clear in its hate for queer relationships you’d have to be a fucking idiot to think an honest Muslim is fine with someone being gay.
Why would they feel betrayed by conservatives doing conservative things? Then again, democrats love "reaching across the aisle" to fascists.
The establishment Democratic party is neoliberal which is not a far reach from the conservative Republican party (as opposed to the reactionary Republican party).
That's to say they Democrats are to the right of th American public, and most of the developed world. They depend on the GOP being consistently worse than they are.
And neither atheists nor progressives have a voice in the US.
