    Friendly reminder that the right wing party in my country is a bit far from being religious, mostly because more than 60% of the population (and honestly, more than 80% based on my speculation) is atheist. Anti-lgbtq being dominant here is definitely not because of religious reasons but the general conservative sentiments we had for so long. Abortion is frowned upon, but no one actually believes that it should be downright criminalized except for some religion nuts.

    Protestantism is pretty much hated by general public since we had some issues with some religion nuts making people’s life miserable.

      Right wing in my country is also non religious, religion in politics is really frowned upon, to the point that one of our former PMs ‘came out’ as a Catholic after he left. Everyone is pretty pro LGB… less so on the T though, our conservatives are very anti-trans, our left party less so. I think our only anti abortionists are on the right? It’s a rare viewpoint to say out loud though.
