[Wallace T.]

When this country was more attuned to outward expressions of faith, liberals could always turn to the mainline Protestant denominations, the theology of which was a combination of liberal shibboleths and therapeutic moralistic theism, to maintain a veneer of Christianity. Like most Protestant churches, liberals have two sacraments: baptism and communion for the former; money and votes for the latter. When the mainline churches no longer provided either of the liberal sacraments due to declining money and influence, liberals abandoned the Protestant sacraments.
