Nice piece, enjoyed reading it. there is much in the bible that could be used to persuede people to back the more liberal policies. In my country (the Netherlands) almost all our famous liberties and our Healthcare was instituted by Christians parties in goverment.
Christians who oppose certain things because of their feelings will not be swayed by arguments but you should engage them were their objections are in there belief. I myself am not a christian but use the bible sometimes to get my point across and found that that works better then just giving factial arguments and statistics.
The Left should not fear the bible because it is the biggest asset they could have. No other thing has such clear examples of helping those who are weaker or have erred and tells people to do the right thing. the left should be overjoyed that there is such a document which has so many thing in common with their viewpoints.
