Churches are usually EXTREMELY partisan.Of course there are ways to ensure that! Church and non-partisan civics groups such as League of Women Voters, etc.
I mean the sitting pastor of a Baptist church in Atlanta is also a sitting US senator from the Democratic party.
As a whole, churches tend to lean conservative. In Georgia, the largest denomination is Southern Baptist, which is very conservative. Lankford R) from OK is (or was) also a Southern Baptist minister as I believe is Warnock from GA. There have been/are a number of Senators and Congress people for whom their faith was/is a centerpiece of their public identity and campaign. Almost always conservative.
I realize that to you, any Democrat is a lefty but that's hardly the case and particularly not the case when you are talking about southern Democrats.
