religious left

Devout liberal coalition

The religious left comprises people whose faith motivates progressive political positions—advocating for social justice, economic equality, environmental stewardship, or peace.

It serves as a counterpoint to the religious right, though it receives less media attention and is less politically organized.

The religious left has historically supported civil rights and anti-poverty programs.
