Who?

This sounds like an unfounded smear. I have not seen ANYONE on DU claim there are no progressive Christians. Have you?

You should retract such a false and divisive statement, kwassa. There are lots of progressive non-believers, and we vote, too. Considering that the non-religious are now the nation's largest voting bloc when it comes to religious categorizations, perhaps it's time to be concerned about us as well.
