To many mainstream-media saturated Americans, the terms “progressive” and “religious” may not seem to go hand-in-hand.

Religion and Progressive Activism focuses on this significant intersection, revealing that progressive religious activists are a driving force in American public life, involved in almost every political issue or area of public concern.
