Changes

The '''Religious Left''' or more specifically the [[Christian]] Left (aka [[Liberal]] Christians) are individual or groups of religious people who combine the Christian faith with [[liberal]] politics. They sometimes agree with [[Conservatives]] about issues such as [[abortion]] and [[same sex marriage]] but they see issues such as [[global warming]], [[poverty]], and [[war]] as moral issues. While most Christians see poverty and war as important moral issues, the Religious Left takes liberal positions on how to mitigate or resolve these issues. For example, while conservative Christians believe in individual charitable giving, many liberal Christians think that government has a duty to resolve these problems. They believe in [[public healthcare]], [[public education]], and social [[welfare]]. They also believe in more globalized (UN) control of wars, treaties and other international relations. Liberal Christians tend to accept [[homosexual]] behavior. They have been criticized by conservativ Christians as straying away from original Christian teachings.  Conservative Christians believe that [[Christ]] is a personal savior, not a societal one. [[Liberation Theology]] was also espoused from Christian leftists.

Members of the Christian left tend to scoff at the doctrine of original sin, in this sense, they are the living decendents of the [[social gospel]] movement.
