For generations, American politics has been defined by the outsize influence of Christian conservatives, so much so that the intersection of religion and politics is often treated as the sole province of white evangelicals. And for generations, promises of a rising “religious left” have come and gone without any lasting political imprint.
But to look at America’s religious left at this moment is to see something genuinely different. Places of worship are participating in demonstrations for civil rights larger than any protest movement in American history. Democrats like the Rev. Raphael Warnock and Joe Biden—political leaders whose faith isn’t just incidental to their public personas, but is a core component of both their identities and their appeal to voters—are staging important victories. The National Congregations Study, an annual survey of America’s places of worship, found 41 percent of self-identified liberal congregations lobbied or marched about immigration in 2018–19; in 2012, it was only 5 percent. Long locked out of power, a growing religious left is pounding on the door. And it has the potential to remake not only American politics, but the way we think about big questions of fairness, justice and what Americans owe to one another.

Sounds like the current Pope.
Born and raised Catholic, grew up with John Paul II, Gawd we need another Pope like him.
Flame away.
Only the Left campaigns in churches as a matter of course.
This part was really confusing to me. This "Joe Biden" is he a friend of the author or something?
Either way, I completely agree with you on JPII. We desperately need a Catholic Pope again.
“and what Americans owe to one another.”
I don’t owe you a GD thing.

Take them seriously? I’d rather take them at gunpoint.
Libtardism is their religion and god
Religious Left is a self contradiction.
They appear to be misinterpreting the first ten words of the amendment and planning to ignore the next six.
Don't have to read more than the first three pages of this https://lawrightsreligion.law.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/content/Images/Section%20II%20Whose%20Faith%20Matters%2012.12.19.pdf
to recognize that.
That’s right, you can either be a true Bible believing Christian or you can discard what the Bible says in order to appease the worldliness of the unbelievers, but not both.
They worship at the alter of the devil.
If you look closely enough, you can see Nadler the penguin 🐧 not kneeling.
I don’t think so. These people have been voting Democrat for 30 years. They have their causes, but the cause isn’t being on the religious left. It’s something else: race, abortion, climate, LGBTQ. They’ve been around for a while, and they aren’t bringing anything new to politics now.
The great falling away and the rise of lawlessness and hatred of the God of the bible.
They are not Christians. They are cult members. They twist the OT and NT into knots to fit their lifestyles.
The Left needs to take God seriously. Simply faking it to appear as a Christian for everyone to see doesn’t work with God. This is matter between you and God. The Bible hasn’t changed, nor the writings - only the type of liars who think they are able to confuse God with their lies and illogic.
The unReligous Left are responsible for this Hell on Earth.
