There is such a thing as the Christian left,but you have to look for it. Perhaps the most famous or infamous,(depending on your perspective) was Liberation theology in the late 1970'sa and 1980's.I saw it in action in the Philippines. The church did not approve. In the Philippines and South America a lot of its supporters ended up murdered.
There have also been some very radically left theologians since WW2,especially in Holland.
There are also left factions in the Catholic Church and the Church of England.
My perception of the Christian right is that it's the idiot fringe and vocal minority in Christendom. It's more powerful in the US than anywhere else,which I think tends to give a skewed perception of it's actual importance in the scheme of things.
