I ask only because, while I have little time for ANY organised religion, I do firmly believe that the examples set by Jesus are
very much of a left wing persuasion.
Always happy to (try to) answer a question like that. Of course he (or the many fellahs who’s stories have been collected as if they were all from a single bloke) predated modern political demarcation by about 17 centuries, but if you want to label him IMO he was more left than right in terms of economics and social justice, but I’d put the bible as a whole as just right of centre, New Testament left, Old Testament right.

I could talk about the contradictions of it all for days but this DEFINITELY isnt the place!
