Maybe Christians are the majority because the US is predominantly Christian. But other countries other religions take the right and left sides.

Thats a fairly offensive view as to what Conservatives are about. But then again neither of us are american. Here in Canada I am Conservative but in the US I would be Democrat. Still I gotta say Conserving our countries laws, history etc...etc.. is really important to me.

But as I said in Canada I'm a card carrying Conservative but in the US I'd be Democrat. I think its sort of hard to stereo type all Conservatives or Democrats into bunchs. Politicians and voters all have their own opinions and people of all faiths and beliefs belong to all sides.

Conservatives want to "conserve", and any "change" they ever want is nothing more than regression to the old days which they view as a mythical time when everything was perfect. Conservatives view that anything new, unknown, different from the status quo is bad, dangerous, evil, and needs to be surpressed and eliminated.

Your partially and mostly right. Conservatives in any shape or form want to conserve the government of the present or recent past. Now depending on which country you live in this could be very good or very bad, or it may not matter to you.

For me here in Canada I love the Government we have now and had in the past. I like our Government health care, our military programs , our welfare system and our diplomatic stances with the world. Thus I am Conservative. The far left NDP and many Liberals want greater privitization of health care, less welfare, changing our military programs etc...etc... Thus why I am not Liberal.

Where as as I said if I were American I'd vote democrat. Why? Because I never liked America the way it was. I believe in stiffer gun control, less military provocations (More talking) , public health care and other things. I may not agree with everything but I'd vote democrat in the States.

This is why I said you can't nescessarily group all Christian's as right wing or all right wingers as Christians. Their are several things worth conserving in all countries well at least most. Just because someone wants to conserve stuff doesn't make them evil, narrow minded or fascist.

As for no Christian left? Obama claims to be Christian. Clinton claimed to be Christian. The leaders of the Liberal Party often claim to be Christian. Infact I can't recal hearing of a Non-Christian leader in the US in the last few decades and they haven't always been right wing.

I know in my area their is a Sihk who ran for the Conservative Party and I know I heard about an Athiest running for the Blue's as well. It has nothing to do with religion, yes religious leaders like to protect their religions cultures, customs and beliefs but other then that you can't just blanket all religious people as conservative or vice versa!
