Religious Right

Godless Left

Anyone who thinks Carter and Clinton and Al Gore are Christians is a fool.

But American Catholics are largely liberal! Many Catholics elsewhere are Marxists!

One would expect the proletarian and democratized nature of the Baptist Church would lend itself toward leftism, but Baptist Christianity is perhaps the most reactionary force in the United States.

Because Baptism, like pretty much all American Evangelicalism is rooted in conservatism. They were founded on the idea of returning to past ideals because the perceived changes in other churches were seen as bad, and their idea of authority comes from the past.

So it makes sense that many of them are politically conservative as well.

There are over 33 million Baptists in the United States. They don't have any particularly strong ecclesiastical hierarchy, no episcopacy or presbyterian system of government. Baptists find themselves all over the map, culturally, politically, and theologically. There are millions of left-leaning Baptists in this country.
