Clinton is neither secular nor awkward about her faith. She cites her Methodist upbringing as a formative experience, with its emphasis on "preaching and practicing the social gospel." As a teenager in 1962, she heard and met the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in Chicago -- what would have been a profound experience for a spiritually alert youth -- and was later politically radicalized by his assassination. The likely Democratic nominee participates regularly in small-group Bible studies and is familiar with the works of Reinhold Niebuhr, Paul Tillich and Dietrich Bonhoeffer -- the theological heroes of mainline Protestantism (and of some stray Evangelicals like myself).
In a nation obsessed by the influence of religious conservatives, it is easy to forget that liberal Protestants were once the dominant cultural influence in America. Beginning in the early 20th century, the social gospel advanced swiftly through most American denominations. Progressive presidents such as Woodrow Wilson spoke in the cadences of this movement: "Christianity was just as much intended to save society as to save the individual, and there is a sense in which it is more important that it should save society."
This high-minded theological liberalism had many successes

She is the Antichrist, of course she is religious.
Her giad is not my God.
Not this religious voter.
They neglec to say that she’s the Pope And god in her religion . . . worshipping the creature in her mirror.
. . . and whatever power she can manipulate out of the sheeple.
Are they breeding village idiots somewhere to write such hidesously ridiculous, clueless, traitorous, asnine, opposite-to-truth constructions on reality???
Maybe the ET’s HAVE ALREADY bred lots of humans into biological robots . . . Sheesh!
And very large buckets.
yeah, right!
The devil is her god, Marx is her prophet, Communism is her faith.
= = =
Far too much truth to that.
INDEED! AND WORTH REPEATING:
############
Mrs. Clinton is “religious” alright, the apostle Paule accurately describes her in 2 Timothy:1-9 (Emphasis mine)
But realize this, that in the LAST DAYS difficult times will come.
For men will be LOVERS OF SELF, lovers of money, BOASTFUL, ARROGANT, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, UNHOLY,
unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, HATERS OF GOOD,
TREACHEROUS, reckless, CONCEITED, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
holding to a form of godliness HOLDING TO A FORM OF gODLINESS, ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE DENIED ITS POWER; AVOID SUCH MEN AS THESE.
For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,
ALWAYS LEARNING AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.
JUST AS Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth SO THESE MEN ALSO OPPOSE THE TRUTH, MEN OF DEPRAVED MIND, REJECTED IN REGARD TO THE FAITH.
But they will not make further progress; for THEIR FOLLY WILL BE OBVIOUS TO ALL, just as Jannes and Jambres folly was also.
Those who name the name of Christ, have an admonition from God to AVOID her and to NOT vote for or support her.

This reminds me of Ahmadinejad at Columbia. I thought his rhetoric sounded familiar.
I’ll second that. I recall those phony shots of her and her ‘husband’ carrying a bible as they left church, in the middle of the Lewinsky scandal.
‘Hillary worships power.
I guess you could call that a religion.’
Liberalism is a religion to these folks.
“Godless” just as Coulter said.
