As the economy becomes a flashpoint for the November midterms, many of these candidates and voters who support them are citing religion as a justification for their positions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in an era of historical inequality,\u201d El-Sayed told The Associated Press. \u201cMost faith traditions \u2014 certainly the Abrahamic faith traditions \u2014 put a lot more burden on the wealthy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The interfaith roundtable took place days after a high-profile rally for El-Sayed, who has made \u201cMedicare for All\u201d a fixture of his campaign and is running against the more moderate\u00a0Rep. Haley Stevens. It featured speeches from progressive heavy hitters like Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Though not a member of\u00a0the Democratic Socialists of America, El-Sayed is being endorsed by liberal allies, many of them members of the DSA, while being criticized by Republicans and centrist Democrats for being too far left to be electable in a swing state.<\/p>\n<p>If elected in November, he would be the first Muslim senator in U.S. history.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Representatives for Stevens, who is identified in congressional profiles as a Protestant, did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Progressive ideologies carry different connotations for different generations<\/h4>\n<p>Religious support for progressive economic and labor movements is not new, even if it has ebbed and flowed in the U.S. over the centuries. Pope Leo XIV\u2019s\u00a0recent encyclical\u00a0was in many ways an ode to \u201cRerum novarum,\u201d Pope Leo XIII\u2019s seminal 1891 text on labor, wages and unions that helped shape Catholic social teaching.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This embrace of religion isn\u2019t unique to the Democratic Party\u2019s progressive wing. More moderate candidates like\u00a0James Talarico, the seminarian running for the U.S. Senate in Texas, also highlight their faith. But as left-leaning Democrats and democratic socialists like New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is Muslim, score wins in local and national races, Republicans have repeatedly decried the party\u2019s progressive wing as\u00a0communists devoid of religion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepublicans and conservatives believe in natural rights that flow from a creator. I think communism rejects that. It espouses a very atheistic, centralized sort of secular view of society,\u201d said Douglas Blair, a spokesperson for Heritage Action for America.<\/p>\n<p>Megan Romer, a DSA national co-chair and ordained ruling elder within the Presbyterian Church (USA), conceded socialism is a troubling concept for some people of faith.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople\u2019s idea of it is, \u2018Oh, that\u2019s when you\u2019re not allowed to have a religion, right?\u2019 Which has been true in some socialist projects,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But experts say that narrative carries less weight among many younger Americans who have no memory of the Cold War and the anti-religious associations it begot.<\/p>\n<h4>Theology informs more than just faith<\/h4>\n<p>Though there are more Democrats unaffiliated with religion than Republicans, many people of faith do not see progressive ideologies like socialism as contradictory to their beliefs. They cite Black religious activists who were outspoken critics of capitalism, including Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and W.E.B. Du Bois, as models for their thinking about the relationship between religion and politics.<\/p>\n<p>The Rev. Andrew Wilkes, who co-pastors the Double Love Experience Church in New York City, became interested in democratic socialism more than a decade ago after presiding over a funeral for someone whose insurance wouldn\u2019t cover a critical operation. \u201cIt was not God that sent him home but an unjustly organized healthcare system and economy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s an increasing recognition, I would say, connecting socialism to a sense of a moral compass,\u201d Wilkes said, adding that religion can bring optimism and creativity in a time of pessimism. \u201cThere\u2019s a level of world-building that faith can speak to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=4619\">Trump\u2019s gift for 25 million seniors right before midterms: Medicare drug cost hikes<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Romer, who joined the DSA in 2018 in part because of Sanders\u2019 unsuccessful presidential run two years earlier, thinks there is a theological component to why Christianity in particular has thrived among conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat flavor of Christianity is a very individualistic one. They talk a lot about your personal relationship with God,\u201d she said. \u201cMy interpretation of Christianity is one that, I think the early Christians \u2014 they were not communists in the modern sense, but they lived in communal situations.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Attitudes toward capitalism are changing, and religion is playing a role<\/h4>\n<p>This faith-driven economic focus is not limited to elections.<\/p>\n<p>Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice is a nonprofit organization that works with congregations throughout Southern California to support workers\u2019 rights. Earlier this month, it facilitated a visit to Live Oak United Church of Christ in Brea, California, to support efforts to unionize a local grocery store chain.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe just feel very, very overworked,\u201d Luis Cueva, a Mother\u2019s Market employee, told members of the congregation after their Sunday service as he asked for support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJesus was a socialist,\u201d Cueva said after the meeting, citing his teachings about it being difficult for rich people to go to heaven. \u201cIt means a lot to know that the church is willing to help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>About half of U.S. adults have a positive view of capitalism, according to\u00a0a poll last year from Gallup, down from 61% in 2010. Democrats have driven part of the shift, but favorable views of capitalism have also declined among independents.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump\u00a0and other Republicans have cast these attitudes and candidates as being fundamentally at odds with religion.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThese are hard core, godless communists,\u201d Trump said recently during a speech to the Faith &amp; Freedom Coalition. \u201cAll communists are godless. They don\u2019t believe in God.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Faith can be both a political asset and a liability<\/h4>\n<p>Although there are myriad points of contention within the Democratic Party, such as\u00a0support for Israel, El-Sayed considers economic issues a top issue for his campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI talk about taking money out of politics because it\u2019s the reason life is not affordable,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople are realizing that politicians on both sides of the aisle really are being paid off by the same people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The son of Egyptian immigrants, El-Sayed is aware that his Islamic faith can be weaponized or misunderstood. But since having a religious experience in college that followed a rebellious childhood, he takes seriously the implications of his faith.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIf you put your morals on a mantel, they\u2019re not morals. They\u2019re just, you know, things that you can admire and then you give yourself the permission to step away from them when it\u2019s convenient,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>As the roundtable concluded, leaders from each faith took turns praying. Their heads lifted, but the Rev. Horace Sheffield chimed in with one last request on behalf of El-Sayed.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think y\u2019all were specific enough. So I\u2019m gonna say it real simple,\u201d he said. \u201cLord, let him win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP\u2019s\u00a0collaboration\u00a0with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.
