The '''Religious Left''' or more specifically the [[Christian]] Left (aka [[Liberal]] Christians) are groups of religious people who combine the Christian faith with [[left-wing]] politics. They may 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 all Chrisitans see poverty and war as important moral issues, the Religious Left takes liberal positions on all of these issues. While conservative Christians believe that poverty can be solved by private charity and learning self-sufficieny, liberal Christians think that government handouts are the answer. They believe in [[public healthcare]], [[public education]] (minus the secular component), and social [[welfare]]. Liberal Christians also tend to be supportive of [[evolution]] and at least tolerant of deviant [[homosexual]] behaviour. They have been criticized by conservatives as straying away from original Christian teachings. Conservative Christians believe that [[Christ]] is a personal saviour not a social one.
