I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Martin Luther King Jr. yet.  He most definitely was religious (unless he was putting on a *really* good show) and most definitely liberal (he'd be an absolute horror to present day Republicans.)

The notion that (American) liberalism and religiosity are somehow incompatible is utter nonsense; but of course, the Republicans would like you to think that such an incompatiblity exists so that, if you happen to be religious (as most Americans are), then you might think, "Oh, I guess I must be conservative!"

Also, as an atheist, I somehow feel the need to denounce and reject the statements in Neo's ridiculous post.
