I've noticed people talking about their faith in regards to politics, and wondered who identifies themself as theologically conservative or liberal. That is, if you identify as a Christian or other religion that has varying degrees. Is anyone conservative in one but liberal in the other?
I vote conservatively and have conservative theological views (Reformed Baptist)

Is that the same thing as interpreting scripture literally?

@mrbee: Well, yes, but also interpreting it in context. Cherry picking scriptures and then following them literally would bring about some unintended actions I'm sure.

My husband was raised in a very conservative religion that actually did not allow for him to vote at all. This is the first year he is voting 
He is now a totally different religion, but has very liberal views.

@junebugmama: Yay! Good for him. Voting is a privilege that everyone should have regardless of religious views.

@junebugmama: Do you mind sharing what religion doesn't allow people to vote? That's very interesting!
I'm liberal and would vote liberal.

I'm both theologically and politically liberal. I dont follow a particular faith but I'm drawn to those that are more spiritual and less conscripted.

I'm liberally liberal I like to think that just means I'm open-minded, in all aspects of life.

Liberal, I guess..... Although I do think there's a big difference between theology and religious dogma. I don't let any church or institution tell me how to interpret scripture and what to believe. Oh and I totally had sex before marriage.

I have faith, and am mostly liberal in my political views. This is where I butt heads with a lot of my family who is extremely conservative overall.
