    @ Elydog

    The "liberal defenders of religion" that Salon publishes are generally not theologians and they are not representative of the contemporary, progressive theological dialogue in this country. For that you should look for people like Borg, Spong, maybe Norris (I'm going off the top of my head here so I'm probably not giving the best examples). But even they are lightweights compared to some of the thinkers who have gone before them (Tillich, Kierkegaard, to name a few). I'm sure you do not actually expect Salon to be a repository of serious intellectual discourse, do you?
