Statistics show that most religious people are also politically conservative. David Klinghoffer of the Jewish Forward finds the connection religions emphasize personal moral responsibility, the ability of every person to know right from wrong and to act as he or she chooses. Unitarian Universalists hold those same principles but are overwhelmingly liberal politically. Are we inconsistent with our faith and politics, or is there a better theory to explain the statistics?
