Barack courts the religious right and homphobes. Hillary doesn't. Why is Barack seen as more left? [View All]

This has puzzled me since Barack threw his name in the ring. I heard him courting the religious right on NPR - he talked about his male God and that there was only "His Truth." As a feminist with a belief that sexism in language and religion hurts women I knew then that Barack was probably not my candidate.

I have listened to Hillary talk abut going to church. I have also heard her recently, in response to press asking her about her religion, and her reply was satisfying to me: She said (I paraphrase) that 'religion is something that I was taught was personal and private.' I have also seen a solid record for women's rights. (And a good one for the environment.)

I have not seen her courting homophobic religious types. (I have seen Barack do this.)

So why is she considered more conservative than Barack?
