In the US religious people tend to be right wing evangelists and the Left are the atheists. In the uK it is the opposite and the religious tend to be on the left and the atheists on the right. Kind of. Odd isn't it. In the UK as I have pointed out frequently all the religious folk are on the left and thought for the day sounds like an never ending pitch for socialism and more taxes and regulation and no slot ever seems to get to the end without a broadside against the self and individulism -standard leftist memes.
If there are religious people in the UK who are Conservative and beleive the state should be small,taxes low and regulation light and people should take responsibility for their own welfare and stop whining for more handouts I have certainly never heard them on Thought for the Day and I have been listening for decades!
Why is this discrepancy betwwen the US Religious and UK religious? I don't know but it could be because the socialist movement in the UK was founded by and large by religious groups whereas possibly in the US this was not the case, or not so much.
My resolution of this apparent confusion or contradiction about what is the true Christianity is to point out much to the annoyance of bothsides of the so called political divide that they are really all brothers and sisters under the ideological skin -both statists, one on the left and one on the right.
