I WROTE A WHILE BACK in The Guardian that Hillary Clinton is a member of the Religious Left. There’s further support for that here from Hillary herself:

Addressing a crowd of more than 500, including many religious leaders, at Boston’s Fairmont Copley Plaza, Clinton invoked God more than half a dozen times, at one point declaring, “I’ve always been a praying person.”

She said there must be room for religious people to “live out their faith in the public square.”

I think that she’s serious about that, and not faking it as some on the right are suggesting.

UPDATE: Michael Novak emails:

Yes, she is serious about praying often. Yes, she is a serious Christian, and has been for some time (not deep, I think, but serious). And, yes, she is a person of the left. So you are right to identify her as part of the religious left. But I interpret her talk in Boston as an effort to bring religious left and religious right into some common work together, and precisely in supporting faith-based workers who sacrifice to help the poor and needy. I am sure you applaud, too, when religious right and religious left join hands for good purposes, especially in serving others. And it seems to me a generous move for Senator Clinton to do so by supporting a program with which President Bush has been so personally identified. She makes clear that such a program is not in itself ideological, but a place where right and left can come together in helping others. I am glad you stressed her sincerity. She could have interpreted her own self-interest as in being anti-Bush at all costs, and she did not.

Good point.
