Although this blog is primarily political in nature, I make no secrets about being a Christian, and occasionally write about religion and issues involving faith. If you are a consistent thinker who acts on reason, then it makes sense that your worldview will inform your political philosophy and positions. How can what one believes about morality, judgment, authority, accountability, our origins, our destiny, our obligations, and human nature not influence their politics?
I am, perhaps, too libertarian to be classified with the Religious Right, but I am sympathetic to the Religious Right in many areas, and I’ve written much about that movement here.
