When it comes to religion and politics, there\u2019s a massive double standard and I\u2019m finding it increasingly frustrating. The moment someone on the Left questions how a politician or judge\u2019s arch-conservative religious views may inform their decision-making and policy, the Right becomes apoplectic. But then these same people<\/em> turn around and disparage or flat-out deny<\/em>\u00a0the religious faith of Christian politicians on the left.<\/p>\n See, for instance, the contrast between conservatives\u2019 ire that anyone asked questions about Amy Coney Barrett\u2019s membership in a covenanted religious community, and conservatives\u2019 insistent and ongoing attacks<\/a> on Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Reverend Raphael Warnock\u2019s faith:<\/p>\n Remember when Republicans created a whole news cycle of outrage by claiming the Dems were being bigoted towards Amy Coney Barrett\u2019s Catholic faith? https:\/\/t.co\/ElPtDFUD32<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) November 29, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
