Yes, you're right. Or the radical priests of Latin America. MLK etc. Well, there doesn't seem much of that in the US these days. Jim Jones may have had an effect - he was a model left christian most of his career apparently.
- specialist 8y agoI have no idea what you're talking about. Us liberal Christians outnumber the others, we're more concerned about the teachings of Christ (cite The Beatitudes) over accumulating power or fighting culture wars, we consider it distasteful to push our beliefs onto others, and we're not organized politically and never will be.
- yesenadam 8y agoHi there! (Ah sorry, I don't know what I'm talking about either.) Well, nice to meet/hear from you. [Anecdata] Actually..I'm in rather atheist Australia, hardly met any christians here my whole life. But the last 10 years have made a lot of friends online - who are almost all christians - mostly catholic, but not all - in Latin America, the Philippines, Africa. At least, they live in very christian worlds, and are I suppose closer to what you describe than the right-wing uh....than the christianity mostly seen in the mainstream media. They're just lovely people. :-)

There's plenty; see, e.g., Cornel West. It's perhaps less visible than right-wing Christianity because left Christianity tends not to be theocratic in its political activism, which can make it easier to overlook the Christian part and see only the left part.
