The "Religion" forum is "Fight Club" but you don't have to go there if you don't enjoy that sort of thing. Some do.

Christian Liberals & Progressive People of Faith is the protected group, as mentioned above. That doesn't mean there is no debate; such a place does not exist on DU.

Posting openly about one's faith in General Discussion often draws hostility, but you won't be the only progressive Christian voice there.

Social Justice Catholicism is a major progressive force in my own community.
