Can organised religion be left-wing at the same time? Isn't Christianity (and Islam) inhrerently conservative because it says the principles everyone must adhere to are from a completely alien culture two thousand years ago and that any deviation from that, no matter if it's because we have a greater understanding of the world, is wrong? So isn't a call for Democrats to get religion essentially a call for Democrats to get conservative and follow Dubya to the right?

Dizfactor explains the problem quite well.
