I am always pointing out that organized religions are, at best, 'center to center-left' in the political spectrum. The operative word is organized, because organization implies group structure, ideological conformity, and normative behaviors.

For decades, the left has railed against churches as wretched hives of closed-minded "rightwing extremism". But, it's not true. Organized religion has every bit the potental of leftism as political leftism does. But the reason that political leftists hate organized religion is that the latter has its own internal law, order and mission by virtue of Biblical doctrine, not Communist doctrine.

Therefore, when an organized religion such as the Episcopalian church begins to lose its own internal, doctrinal focus, and begins unraveling, it naturally gravitates toward the doctrines of the more powerful groups surrounding it. In the west, the more powerful organizations are Marxist and Islamist. In Scandinavia, the Lutheran Bishop of Stockholm has just called for the installation of an Islamic mihrab in the local cathedral.

It shouldn't surprise anyone that Lutherans, Episcopalians, Anglicans, and other 'devolving' organized religions, have installed female hierarchs who've contributed to their general emasculative decline, perhaps as a means of finding stronger alphas from which to garner structure and renewed vigor.
