There's an old saying that you don't talk about religion and politics at the dinner table. I always thought that saying was funny because two of my favorite things to talk about are ... religion and politics. (Perhaps this would explain my position as a social outcast?) One good book about both subjects that I recently read is "The Left Hand of God" by Michael Lerner, a Jewish rabbi. I think it provides critically important ideas for the Democratic Party, especially after the recent crucifixion of Barack Obama in the blogosphere for having the audacity to talk about religion and politics.
