Democrats understand that the key to economic prosperity is for everyone to prosper, not just the rich. Regular people prosper when there are lots of good jobs available and every job pays a fair minimum wage. I don't believe very many people are born criminals. Circumstances make most criminals. Democrats are willing to tackle the social problems that produce crime.
Democrats value diversity, including religious diversity.
Religious absolutists differ from other religious individuals in that they believe they are right and only they are right. Most of us find a belief that is right for ourselves and leave it at that. Think about the fact that there are now more Muslims in the U.S. than there are Presbyterians. We all live on the same planet and share the same air, water, soil and finite space. It is the government's job make sure we keep our world safe for future generations.
