I have no idea how widespread these views are, and I offer no commentary on the views themselves.
The video as a whole is worth a watch. I wouldn't say that I found it to be either deep or profound, but it's interesting enough for me to share it with RGT.
When I hear people talk like this I always think of the phrase "social gospel". Of course, Christians should be the light of the world, the salt of the earth, do good to all men, etc. And I think they certainly do as much good if not far more than the political involvement of the "religious right" which they are ostensibly replacing, at least by inference in this video.
But I listened to the whole thing and didn't hear one word about the Gospel itself. Very possibly because it was produced by the mainstream media which unlikely has a clue what Gospel means, or would care if it did.
So I'm not commenting on the people in the vid, they may be very strong, Bible based believers - can't tell from this, and that's my basic problem, really.
At one point the leader asked "What does it mean to follow Jesus?". The correct answer is only partially given here. Which may be just a fault of the format.
