People with progressive values don't attend church. I'm not saying they should, just stating a fact. People who attend church tend to be more conservative hence the ongoing lurch to the right. I'm not telling you to attend church at all, but churches who do do the right thing aren't getting rewarded for it. They continue to shrink, while the conservative ones continue to grow.
