Left and Right are not what they appear to be.

You mean Religious Liberals and not Religious Left. The term progressive is mainly used by Marxists who try to pretend to be liberals, but the birth pains of a Communist state always end with authoritarianism.
Hegel’s followers developed the ideas of left and right in Germany.
“Right Hegelians” The Rightists philosophy follows in accordance with Christian theology and Christian Church Authority. They are Anti-Enlightenment and authoritarian.
“Left Hegelians” (or “Young Hegelians”). Leftists are anti-Christian and developed schools of materialism, rationalism, and pantheism. They are pro-Enlightenment, Libertarian, Liberal and Anarchist. They believe the individual is supreme over and authority within the constraints of society.


So called free market Libertarians are substituting their own predominance over other individuals and are therefore Right Wing. Most do not believe in true free markets but operator within cartels and screwed markets.
