sorry - went out for a meal and a 
with friends last night .
I agree dittany - I wasn't arguing that US feminists were promoting religion at all, just that in the US it is not at all unusual for a woman to claim to be a feminist and religious (and right wing for that matter!) - the whole culture of feminism there has, IMO, a different tone - if that makes sense. So I wasn't at all surprised that a term which originated in a work of feminist theology should be used by US feminist bloggers and be totally unproblematic for them - nor surprised that the blogs I did look at cited ESF in an unproblematic way. It is more likely, IMO, that a term with those origins would be viewed 
in the UK where we are much more firmly rooted, as feminists, in secular socialism.
I'm constantly surprised (though by now shouldn't be) that American members of an online women's group I belong to will talk about praying for someone on list - or adding people to their prayer lists - and this is not commented on by anyone - and this is a very diverse group of Christians, Jews, pagans, atheists, agnostics. It's something the other UK people in the group have commented on to each other - we tend to keep our religious views much more private I think.
