"Jews for Jesus" are getting to be, in my view, the reference standard for understanding Jesus and following His lead. So imagine where I'm thinking protestants and catholics rate in the big scheme of things, [snicker].
BTW;
driving on the right = Protestantism
driving on the left = Catholicism
Um no, there are liberals and conservatives in every sect. While on average there are more liberal Catholics in certain geographics there are right wing Catholics, IE "The Catholic League" which is on par with the same bullshit bigotry as Falwell and his Southern White Evangelical bigotry.
It is as stupid as assuming all Jews are liberals. I can link you to a couple of stories in Israel where conservative Jews held up commercial passenger jets because a handful of sexist asshole Jews refused to sit next to women.
Even with atheists, it is false to assume every atheist values Ayn Rand on the economic right or assume we all value Che who lead to Cuba on the far left. I am neither.
"Right" isn't such a label thing as it reflects individuals who buy into fear and otherism which is the bad side of our species. "Left" also isn't automatically "no rules" or "nanny state" godless lawlessness as the right would believe.
I think all of our species still boils down to the individual and still is a struggle over how we either cooperate or fight over resources.
I see humanity more in terms of empathy vs fear, greed vs sharing.
