  • the religious left’s affinity for socialist and leftist doctrines generally;
  • the religious left’s embrace of radical environmentalism, which views capitalism and industry as inherently destructive to the natural world;
  • the anti-Americanism that is a hallmark of the religious left;
  • the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic worldviews that are commonplace among the religious left;
  • the religious left’s support for open borders, unregulated immigration, and amnesty for illegal aliens residing in the United States;
  • the religious left’s steadfast belief that pacifism is the only morally acceptable way of dealing with aggressors around the world; and
  • the religious left’s alliance with certain elements in the labor-union movement.

About the Author

Virginia Christian Alliance
The mission of the VIRGINIA CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE is to promote moral, social and scientific issues we face today from a Biblical point of view. In addition we will refute and oppose, not with hate, but with facts and humor, the secular cultural abuses that have overridden laws and standards of conduct of the past. We will encourage Christians to participate in these efforts through conferences, development of position papers, booklets and tracts, radio/TV spots, newspaper ads and articles and letters-to-the editor, web sites, newsletters and providing speakers for church and civic meetings.
