Yes. It is like a mecca for liberals. My cousin used to be normal but over the years he became just more left and left and he's gone to the deep end. And of course he relocated to Portland around 7 years ago.

It probably has to do more with your cousin, I would say...
I count about 40 plus years in Portland and hadn't once ever considered being a liberal... LOL... And there are plenty others like that in Portland, too.
You may be running around in the wrong circles. Obviously your cousin was (and you can find "those circles" in any big city).
And, as far as Evangelical Christians are concerned, I was always able to find plenty of them, too. The churches are not as common as in the Bible Belt (like in Tulsa), but where you find them (and there's plenty enough to find without any problem), they have committed Christians (I'm speaking about the Christian Evangelical ones, don't know about the other offshoots).
