I agree that it is a problem, and while this doesn't reflect flaws with liberal Protestant theology, it reflects on how progressives perceive religion in general. I know I'm oversimplifying things, but if progressives feel their only choices are a "mean, hateful" God, or secularism, then they'll go with secularism. Since conservative Christianity has dominated Christian perspectives on religion, progressives see no point in associating themselves with it.
How often do we hear about the UCC's protests for social justice? How often do we hear about churches passing resolutions to become open and affirming to homosexuals? Unless you actually stay current on religious affairs in the world rather than pick up the paper or watch CNN all day, chances are you haven't.
Shallow as it may sound; if the Moral Majority and the Christian Coalition were founded by people like Karen Armstrong and John Shelby Spong, I think things would have turned out very differently.
