"Liberal" is the church I was at last month where the pastor said you couldn't be Christian and Republican at the same time. But short of that is the mushy middle of mainstream Christian churches that nonetheless stay away from the fire and brimstone stuff, if only because there's not much of a market for it in most places. Think about it: sex outside of marriage is almost universal in the U.S. There are only so many people who will do that, but then go to a church that tells them they'll go to hell for doing that. Your random Bible Church in the suburbs is not spouting this stuff.
