I don't mean to imply that Christianity is progressive. But how a person reacts when politics is at odds with their religious beliefs is illuminating. Do their political beliefs follow from sincerely held religious beliefs? Or do they contort their religion in service of their political beliefs? For much of the religious right, it's clearly the latter.
There are no good parties in the USA for Christians to vote for
There's no good party for most people but that doesn't stop many of them from demanding better from their parties. The story, though, is about how Christians are demanding their religious leaders change rather than demand better from their politicians.
To be fair, I don't think the people complaining are Episcopalians. That church has gone down the gutter, unfortunately.
