#1 The church of the left and the moral cowardice of the "right".

#2 And the church of the left achieves a lot through guilt and sense of sin.
You thought unkind thought - maybe you even thought the N word - when encountering a group of black youts. Sin! Penitence (doing what we - the priests of the new religion - tell you)!
You felt disgust meeting an "in your face" homosexual. Sin! Penitence!
You saw a bunch of obvious illegals and thought "They don't belong here - this is my country". Sin!
And, of course, there are indulgences for sale. And the laws are different for Princes of the Church, of course.

#3 One is hard-pressed to determine what the church/body politic of the left is since it is based on political correctness and victimhood which are ever-changing.

The First Amendment assumes that the proper sphere of government is policies, not values.

It is doubtful that policy can be pursued without values to guide it. We see the outcome of pursuing scientific policy without a moral base--we end up with a corrupted process with faked memes and faked research for political purposes.

Worse than the schism of politics and religion which we have is a theocratic form of government which unifies government policy with religion.
