The difference was though that people didn't think there was anything wrong with that and often believed that religious believers held to a morality which was both religious and universal. Today though there's a presumption by many on the left that religiously oriented people hold moral views which can't possibly be shared by nonbelievers. And since there aren't a lot of nonreligious people who will even consider the secular arguments for a prolife stance, I don't see where there's much choice but to 'preach to the choir' (hard to address a congregation that doesn't show up.)

Today's pro-life movement preaches to the choir, but I hope not for much longer. His religiosity wasn't intrusive or exclusive.

Martin Luther King had been leading the civil rights movement in todays hypersecular environment, wouldn't it? I wonder if he'd have been as successful if he'd had to take off his 'preacher' hat and stop infusing 'religosity' into his arguments. Would have been interesting if Rev.
