Admittedly, it has been a few years since I read Jim Wallis' book, God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It. My recollection is that it was an interesting critique of both the right and the left. He roundly criticized the left for being hostile to religion under the guise of respecting the constitutional guarantee of separating church and state. Without saying it in so many words, he exposed some high profile "Christian" leaders on the right as modern day Pharisees -- those folks Jesus condemned for their highly public self-righteousness, their greater concern for rules than for the welfare of real people, their hypocrisy and their readiness to use political power to compel people to their agenda.
