@RL_Dane @Aslanmane @secularfaith I love Zahnd but have never heard him self-identify with that term. He's very conservative (I mean this positively in his case) in many ways.

I don't use that term of myself either. Some who do identify it with a way of reading the Bible, or with certain temporal politics. I identify "progressive" with the worldview that says the world, society, technology, etc is relentlessly progressing towards a good end, and it's important to ride that wave, so to speak. As a Christian I have a positive eschatology, but the wider culture is constantly chasing shiny things that are contrary to God's desires. We often lack the perspective to be able to discern the good from the gaudy.
