I agree - however, we do seem to gravitate to those poles. I was hoping that dialogue between the "poles" on this issue would help to create some understanding of and appreciation for each others' positions and values, but perhaps framing it this way has limited things.
Could you suggest a more productive way to look at this?
Maybe rather than stating your "affiliation," perhaps just think about your opinions on "religion in politics" and, if you find something there that you think is fear-motivated, share it as above? (What are you afraid of if whatever you oppose should come to pass, and what do you think are the markers of a successful society?) Would that work better?
