What are "christopaths"?* A definition from The Christian Left

What is a "christopath"? Here is the definition: "A christopath is someone who is using Christianity as a cover, a clever pretense to push right wing political aims."

The Christian Left strongly opposes the christopaths and here are some excerpts from their Mission Statement:
We are The Christian Left. We’re all around you. We’re among the people. Take a look. We’re part of the Body of Christ. We’re Christians. We’re Liberal. We make no apologies. In fact Jesus' ways are “Liberal.” That’s why He was killed. The Pharisees and the Sadducees were the conservatives of their time. This is clear.
[and. . .]
We’re not waiting for some earthly leader to come and make everything alright - that man already came. When He comes back, there will be no doubt who HE is. Everyone, without exception, will know. Until then, we are part of the Body of Christ. We’re not ‘Communists’ or ‘Marxists’ either. We reject all such labels. We will not be profiled or pigeonholed and we will not ‘Be Quiet.’ We’re Christians.
[and lastly. . .]
[T]he Christian Left believe homosexual sex to be overemphasized when compared with issues relating to social justice, or even matters of sexual morality involving heterosexual sex. Bottom Line: We welcome ALL to their place at God’s table, just as they are. All means ALL. No exceptions. We reject all attempts to define our Faith by the two wedge issues of Gay Marriage and Abortion.
*Please Note: Any similarities about "christopaths" and a self-proclaimed 'pastor' who believes the City of Lake Worth, FL, is "cracking down" on his church and Jesus are coincidental.
