Where is the Religious Left?

There’s a lot of online chatter about leftist and “woke” Christianity of late? What is it?

Definitions have changed. For nearly all my adult life, since the 1980s, I have followed and critiqued the Religious Left. Here’s what it was: Protestants and Catholics who did not think agreement about historic Christian beliefs such as about Christ’s divinity were necessary, who prioritized politics over traditional church work, who loved Fidel Castro and Daniel Ortega while often backing Marxist guerrilla movements, who did not criticize the old Soviet Union or any communist governments, who asserted America was imperialist, who touted abortion rights in the church’s name and advocated for liberalized sexuality, who sacralized the welfare state and denounced any doubts about its growth as un-Christ like, and who equated big government, with higher taxes and more regulation, with God’s Kingdom.
