Love your work Christian. Perhaps you're concerned as I am over how Progressives and "the Left" in general have unwittingly helped enable "the Right" to monopolize the political playing field through its strategic abuse of sociopathy and religion. Also the Left's reliance on outdated and ineffective political approaches grounded in "secular liberal political theory."
Though noble in the abstract, these approaches have proved incapable of either stopping the right-ward drift of the media and the country or of creating a sustainable progressive movement capable of enabling Democrats to enact a realistically progressive agenda. If anything, they've led us down the myopic road of a type of "secular fundamentalism" that has not grasped the fact that right-wing religious, political, and economic extremists have merged and integrated their agendas, but has rather chosen to downplay the importance of religion to the peril of the movement.
Anyway, I go into a lot of detail into this in another article, which if you have the time please check out. Would love to know what you think:
"CRUSADER CHRISTIANS, GOP/TEA PARTY CULT, & THE LEFT"
