The civil rights movement was motivated by people wanting civil rights. People on both sides claimed religious support. Rural white Christians greatly outnumber urban Jewish Christians. Most major denominations discriminate against LGBT people. People who are super damn interested in worker rights and housing access aren't disproportionately Christians in my experience. Some are and some aren't.

> The civil rights movement was motivated by people wanting civil rights. People on both sides claimed religious support. Yeah, this a smart answer. > urban Jewish Christians This doesn't even make any sense. Judaism and Christianity are related but they're separate religions. > People who are super damn interested in worker rights and housing access aren't disproportionately Christians in my experience. Nowadays, yeah, though things like food banks and hospitals often still have Christian names, origins, and even (particularly older) members. And progressive institutions like the YMCA and the Salvation Army were explicitly Christian from the beginning. But you notice I am mostly naming older things.

  I assume hprotagonist meant ethnic Jews. Charity and economic justice are different. Even the Salvation Army and many religious hospitals discriminate against LGBT people.

> Rural white Christians greatly outnumber urban Jewish Christians Well, yeah, Jewish Christians, urban or rural, are pretty rare. Black and Hispanic Christians are more common. And if you look at regressive attitudes on race, it's mostly White Evangelic Protestants where those views are concentrated. White Catholics and White mainline protestants are fairly evenly split, and non-White Christians (what usually has big enough samples to show up in broad surveys are Hispanic Catholics and Black Evangelical Protestants) tip strongly the opposite direction as White Evangelical Protestants.
