Progressivism and Religion Don't Go Together

In the wake of that demoralizing defeat, some have suggested that the party's top leadership is the main issue, and Democratic politicians in the House have begun openly grumbling against minority leader Nancy Pelosi.

Still others have posited that the underlying issue is the party's dismissive attitude toward religious values and even organized religion itself.
