Two of the many areas of conflict between Judeo-Christian values and leftism concern the separation between the holy and the profane and the separation between humans and animals.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Leftism seeks to undo most of the values that are distinct to Judeo-Christian religion.
By definition, sacred beings are separated beings. That which characterizes them is that there is a break of continuity between them and the profane beings.
Religious conflict can be the bloodiest and cruelest conflicts that turn people into fanatics.
From a policy standpoint, the Judeo-Christian principles are important.
One of the problems with the identification of Christianity with love is how such a view turns out to be both anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic. The Jews and Catholics become identified with the law or dogma, in contrast to Protestant Christians, who are about love.
Moreover, behind this vague tendency to treat religion as a side issue in modern life, there exists a strong body of opinion that is actively hostile to Christianity and that regards the destruction of positive religion as absolutely necessary to the advance of modern culture.
One can't understand the Christian Right and similar movements unless one sees them as reactive - they're reacting to what they call secular humanism.
Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor - over each other.
Communicated in the right way, Judeo-Christian philosophy and the religions that uphold it bind a citizenry together in pursuit of a just and generous society.
We ought to recognize that religious strife is not the consequence of differences among people. It's about conflicts between creation stories.
