From Mother Jones: Lots of people have been looking to science to explain the differences between Democrats and Republicans. Mother Jones‘ Chris Mooney has published a rundown of all the brain differences suspected in the gulf between liberals and conservatives.

First, Steinfels doubted that religion could be a motivating force for religious progressives because religious progressives are less likely... Read more
