You are right of course. I would also ask how many have experienced a supportive learning environment where one was "called-out" for lying, or brought back to "fact"; or lovingly brought back into the logic - the "if...then" or the "if not...then not".  My father was a conservative catholic but he was as wary of "domination" as he was of "liberal".
"Faith" that elevates belief to an ideology has already departed from the possibility of engagement. As soon as I detect "ideology" whether it is the triumphalism of political right or left, or "Jesus...", or "Mohammed..." then you have already lost me.
But talk to me about "subsidiarity" or "common good" or whether the sun rises or not, and I will engage. 
I doubt that Democrats are much better (I tend to think they are) but it seems the Republicans are so mired in ideology and self interest that they are virtually unreachable. Scary.
