And it's not really the Protestants who're the problem. The old mainline Protestant denominations are pretty liberal in the US. The Episcopal church near where I lived in Jersey City was outright leftist -- female minister, actively gay-friendly, involved in the community, hosted art shows, etc.
The troublemakers are the evangelicals. And even among them, there's a more liberal sub-group that takes charity and stewardship of the Earth more seriously than gay-bashing and tax-cutting.
