Many
Democrats are seeking to bridge the “faith gap” by communicating religious
sentiments and thus garner more votes from evangelicals than has been the case
in the last three decades. A common tactic is to portray “social justice”
issues such as poverty, health care, and the environment as more important than
traditional concerns over abortion, same-sex marriage (and other family
issues), and the role of religion in the public square. As this WSJ
article reveals, they have their work
cut out for them.
