c'mon Will, there are a lot of very leftwing churches. If you want to talk about black ones, you can start with the one that our pres went to for twenty years. Riverside Church here in NY comes to mind immediately. Third world Anglicans (what we call Episcopalians in the US) wanted to break away because the mother church - archbishop of canterbury, and pretty much the whole hierarch of the american church - was doing things like recognizing gay priests.
And really, Will, the icon of the civil rights movement was a christian preacher. Fellow named King. I think you might have heard of him.
Like it or not, the fact is it's there. Religion is very influential in a certain segment of leftie thinking. You can't just dismiss it.
