There were actually 2 sessions dealing with the religious right.  Frederick wrote about these sessions and their significance, HERE.

Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite is the President of the Chicago Theological Seminary.  She straddles the world of religion and politics as a member of the boards of the Center for American Progress and Faith in Public Life.  Her remarks on the "What to Do about the Religious Right" panel are on mp3 HERE.

According to Frederick:

Among other things, she emphasized the model of moderate and progressive clergy coming together to form We Believe Ohio as a counterbalance to the image that the religious right have the only or even the correct view on on faith and public life.
 

Chip gave a series of previews of his talk HERE.
More briefly, one point he stressed, he later wrote about HERE.

In recent months... there have been indications that some in the leadership of the Democratic Party, and some of its candidates for public office, are seeking the votes of Christian conservatives by suggesting there is room to compromise on reproductive rights and gay rights. While public debates over social issues are a sign of a healthy democracy; it is not proper for politicians to negotiate away basic human rights for any group of people in the United States. The problem is not "abortion" or "reducing the number of abortions." The problem is unwanted pregnancies, how to prevent them, and how to support women who get pregnant in the decisions they deem appropriate. This includes access to legal and safe contraception and abortion; as well as access to health care and child care for women who choose to give birth and raise children - concepts seen as fundamental rights in other industrialized countries. Our rights, and the rights of our friends, relatives, and neighbors who are women, are not political commodities to be traded for votes.

There are several reasons why these sessions were significant.  One is that serious discussions about the religious right are rare at big political conferences.  Another is that when they do take place, they are usually marked by some good information and analysis and scary stories, but what to do is often crammed into off the cuff remarks in the Q&A or appeals to support the organization of the speaker. What was done at YearlyKos was to have a first panel discussing the dynamics of the religious right, and then a second one focused solely on what to do about the religious right. To my knowledge, that has never been done before.

According to Frederick:

Part of our intention was to avoid the parochialism of single issue politics and offer broader perspectives of people who have thought about these things for a long time. (If you go to the program book, the descriptions of each session are, I think, provocative.  

Is the Religious Right Really Dead? Every election cycle--and in between--pundits have declared that the religious right is dead. This roundtable will discuss the current status of the religious right, its power and points of leverage, its strengths and its weaknesses. Looking historically and into the future, what can we expect to be the future of the religious right?

What to do about the Religious Right Let's get over it. The religious right will be around for a long, long time. Why is this, and how shall we get our minds around this stubborn political fact? What to do about the Religious Right? The Religious Right is one of the most successful political and religious movements in American history. What should we be doing differently in response?

Alot of ground was broken by doing those panels at all, and it was a coup to be able to do them at YearlyKos.  We can do better in exposing the lies and hypocrisy of the religious right.  And we have a good start here.
