I’m not sure I’m buying the existence of a “Christian left”. I think it is more likely that these are just clever leftists trying to pander to the Christian right.

Liberals Strategize With Wallis
In January 2005, Democrat Senators met in a closed session with Wallis to figure out how they could use religious language to pull evangelical voters away from the Republican Party to vote Democratic. In addition, 15 Democrat House members made Wallis their guest of honor at a breakfast. His topic was how to turn religious voters in to Democrats. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NM) admitted that Wallis was working closely with the leadership to lure religious voters to the Democrat Party.
In 2005, Wallis was appearing on TV and radio talk shows all over the U.S. and was being interviewed by the mainstream print media as well.
The New York Times reported that Democrats in the House has picked Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) to establish a “faith working group” that would “encourage lawmakers to sprinkle references to God and religion into their speeches.” Jim Wallis was their pick to help them devise clever ways to fool Americans into believing secular liberals had found “religion.”
TVC’s Chairman Rev. Louis P. Sheldon debated Wallis on “ABC World News Tonight” in February 2005. During the interview, Rev. Sheldon made the following observations about Wallis and the Democrats:
Mr. Wallis and the Religious Left are trying to train liberals to speak like religious Americans.
No matter how well you train a wolf to say “BAAAAA,” it doesn’t change an important facthe is still a wolf.
Liberals are the sworn enemies of religious Americans.
Evangelical Christians do not believe God is on our side but we listen for His voice to make sure that we are on His side.
Liberals don’t care whose side we are on. They want to keep religious people on the outside.
Wallis will undoubtedly be trotted out by liberals and the mainstream media during upcoming elections.
