1. That's what happens when you mix religion and politics.

The liberal Christians I know (my wife being one of them) don't have a problem voting for Democrats. The divides the article says that have been created in the Christian faith along the lines of sexuality and sexual issues are not an issue for them. My wife's denomination allows openly gay and female clergy.

All of society benefits when we keep religion and politics separate.
