"In a profile of Hillary Clinton’s religious life, America Magazine, a “national weekly Catholic
magazine,” says Mrs. Clinton is a “lifelong Methodist who has learned to keep her personal beliefs hidden.” Unfortunately for Methodists and Mrs. Clinton alike, her state religious beliefs also contradict her abortion agenda.
Author Michael O’Loughlin details Clinton’s faith, beginning with her upbringing in the Methodist church. Surely Mrs. Clinton has a religious faith—she grew up Methodist—but where is it?
In 2006, Mrs. Clinton met a political activist and Southern Baptist named Burns Strider, who influenced her opinion on social justice issues. “He then served as a faith outreach director during her 2008 campaign, and today he sends Mrs. Clinton emails several times a week with short passages from Scripture or quotations from figures she has said she enjoys reading, including the Catholic writer Flannery O’Connor, the poet Mary Oliver and the Christian writer Jim Wallis.”
According to Pew, mainline Protestantism, which is uniformly liberal, has declined over the years, while evangelicalism has increased. This is at least partially related to the fact that liberal policies now pervade every aspect of life. Mrs. Clinton’s religious talk and liberal walk embody this: she talked about Christianity at a town hall in Iowa in January yet teams with Cecile Richards, CEO of the abortion giant Planned Parenthood, at every opportunity possible.
Kristin Du Mez, a history professor writing a biography on Clinton’s faith, says “Mrs. Clinton’s religiosity can be best perceived through this prism of socially liberal Christianity,” ...
The United Methodist Church hasn’t been mum on abortion. Their “Social Principles” state, “Our belief in the sanctity of unborn human life makes us reluctant to approve abortion”....
An abortion rights activists who has worked for the United Methodist Church even went to so far as to say Clinton’s beliefs don’t conflict with the church’s stance on abortion. This sounds neat and tidy, but it’s so far from the truth...
It’s unfortunate that the first woman running for president, with purported faith (quiet or not), advocates for an evil so obvious and so hypocritical that it contradicts the very faith she claims to embrace." TheFederalist
