The Republican Party is basically ruled by religious people at this point. At this point, the 10,000th right-wing religious movement won't really do any harm- it's not like it would make religious people have any power over the Republican Party than they already have.
But this HeGetsUs movement, which is trying to make the Democrats be a religious party too? That I find deeply disturbing.
The last thing I want is for Democrats to start having some Jimmy Carter or William Jennings Bryan type politicians again.
I think you're worried over nothing. Simply because a religious marketing campaign (and that's what HeGetUs is) promotes views that fall in line with some liberal/lefitist/Democratic policy positions doesn't mean that it's an attempt to 'make the Democrats a religious party.'
A perusal of the HeGetsUs website seems to indicate that they're promoting things like inclusion, caring for the poor, compassion for refugees, and so on. You know - dangerous shit.
