The extreme left can't tolerate law and it can't tolerate morality. Christian moralists at the extreme will make any claims they like and base them on esoteric Biblical references. Neither side is capable of governing a free republic which bases its law on the fundamental belief that personal convictions have greater weight than the state's expression of others' beliefs. Neither extreme deserves the trust and confidence of the people.

This country was founded by people who would today be called "Christian moralists at the extreme".
Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. -- George Washington

Those at the extremes enjoy the greatest leverage. Mechanics 101.
