[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in the why does it matter boat but here are some things I would consider:

1. Is she a SAHM?
2. Does she belong to a church?
3. Does she do some type of charity work? Through church or other org?
4.  Lack of attributes identifying her as being left leaning (pink/blue hair, hybrid vehichle, pronouns on LinkedIn, etc)?[/quote]

This is ridiculous - I am a SAHM/ attend church/ do charity work and am very committed to social justice ideals as are many of my peers.

Many Christians care about:
 mitigating climate change (creation is sacred);
 addressing structural racism (all are made in God’s image);
want gun controls (pro life); and
believe in evolution and do not see science and religion as in conflict relationship  (western science and Christian religion grew up together over many centuries).

There are wedge issues such as abortion that tend to be more divisive and cynical populist politicians know how to exploit the wedge issues. In reality, the Bible has over 2,000 references to helping the poor and disenfranchised, and none to abortion, and very few to homosexuality, which makes it pretty clear to me that the divine is most passionate about elevating those who are wrestling with poverty and suffering.

Also the Christian faith, along with all other mainstream religions and many indigenous religions have some version of the Golden Rule in either positive or negative form. (Treat others the way you would like to be treated or don’t treat others in ways you would not like to be treated). In general, liberals try much harder to treat others with dignity, which is certainly ly the way I would like to be treated.

Please do not create unnecessary fractures between SAHMs and working moms. We all care about our children and make choices that are best for our families.[/quote]
