Gospel Democrats (A MUST READ)
This article goes along with the many discussions we've had on here about Jesus, the Bible, and liberalism.

It's not hard to discern what's going on here. After years of getting their hats handed to them by the so-called Religious Right and after losing the "moral values" voters by a margin of 82% to 18% in the 2004 elections, Democrats and the political Left have resolved they can't beat 'em, so they'll join 'em. Their policies are now inspired and endorsed by the Big Fella Himself.
They have a tough row to hoe. Fewer Americans (29%) today view the Democrat Party as "friendly to religion" than did last year (when that figure was 40%), according to a Pew Research Center poll from late August. Indeed, after three consecutive years of decline in the "friendly to religion" department we can detect an inversely proportional relationship between the Democrats' use of religious rhetoric and their public image on religious amiability.
Why?
