LFS2 is partly right but it's not "law school liberalism" that is hostile to the never ending demands from Evangelicals especially and Catholics to a lesser degree for theocracy.  It is me and the majority of Americans who demand that separation of Church and State be the absolute law of the land.
If that threatens theocratic proponents than so be it.
Democrats understand how the Religious Right helped in the defeat.  They've been voting for phony authoritarians in the pay of corporate oligarchs for decades.  But we will not crawl back into the cave as these people hypocritically fight the scientific knowledge that makes their own technologically sophisticated and medically healthy lives possible.  Nor will we accept the constant demands to ignore social and economic progress which liberates us all in order to accept narrow dogmatic philosophies from religions which eschew spiritual comfort for social control.
