Why are religious conservatives still the squeaky wheels? By The Rev. Chloe Breyer: “American religious life has undergone a seismic shift. If, as statistician John Green’s report ‘The American Religious Landscape and Politics, 2004’ suggests, religion no longer breaks down as ‘Catholic vs. Protestant’ on issues like abortion, John Kerry’s record, or pre-emptive warfare but now divides into ‘traditionalists vs. modernists,’ why do the traditionalists still get all the attention? If the political fault lines between religious people have really shifted, the troubling question arises for orthodox believers with liberal political convictions: Why are they still upstaged by their ‘super religious’ conservative sisters and brethren?” (Slate)
