"many churches these days have acquired social consciences"

I'd think it more likely the social consciousness has been there in the churches longer than elsewhere. "Not to share our own wealth with the poor is theft from the poor and deprivation of their means of life; we do not possess our own wealth, but theirs." John Chrysostom writing around 400 AD (Quoted recently by Pope Francis).

Looking through this thread it strikes me the only people being outrightly dogmatic are those who are eager to share their expertise on religions they so deplore.
