Hey reporters: Is a more active Religious Left a sign of a growing Religious Left?

6. Odd. He sees atheists as 'religious', but wonders if African-American churches can be called 'left'

despite the overwhelming long-term support of Democrats by African-Americans ("Does the Christian Left, in particular, have much common doctrinal ground with growing, healthy African-American (and Latino, for that matter) churches when dealing with abortion and many LGBTQ issues?&quot

I don't think much of his definitions. Journalists don't "need" to start calling atheists and agnostics 'religious'; if there's a subject on which they agree with the Religious Left, you can call them all "the Left", or "liberals". If it's about ethics or morals you could say "the ethical left", "the moral left" and so on.
