Jesus is a liberal!

While thinking some more about Ann Coulter's hateful attack on liberalism as a Godless religion, I have come to the conclusion that there is some truth to what she says.

Liberalism tends to emphasize caring for one's brothers and sisters in society, looking after the weak and vulnerable, tolerance of other people, life as a collective rather than an individualistic pursuit, love rather than hate, peace rather than war, inclusion rather than exclusion.

And unless I'm mistaken, the Christian faith (as well as many other faiths) teaches all these things too?

So maybe liberalism does have a religious bent to it after all.
