A long read, but well worth it.

A bump for later reading and for First Things.

This is indeed an excellent article.

Reminds me of an excellent quote by Bill Buckley many years ago, to the effect that "Can one be a conservative and not believe in God? Absolutely. Can one be a conservative and hate and despise God and belief in Him? Absolutely not."

This article by Stanley Kurtz would seem to address the same issue from a slightly different POV, that Liberalism serves it's proponents as a religion in and of itself.
