In the United States Muslims swing left, Jews swing either way, most Christians swing hard right, Catholics tend to swing more right than left, Hindus tend to swing right more often than left, Buddhists swing left, and a good majority of Lutherans swing left. 

In my opinion all five major religions, save Buddhism, have all become increasingly conservative (that’s one of the main reasons I left, socialists/anarchists don’t get along well with the Catholic Church). In America most of the far right is made up of Christians, though I will conclude that minority religions contribute quite a bit to the far left.

I don’t think you can religious and truly free. I think the world would be better off without religion, though I wouldn’t take people’s rights to worship away. I will argue against it heavily, but people have the right to believe in a higher power.

I think the problem is with people predenting to be releagous and that they know everything about this religion so they can't be argued , that's what make some people hate to being stuck to any religion cuz of these people , but if u understand well this religion and deeply read about it from different people with different point of views i think you'll change your mind a bit or at least make a fair opinion of what this religion is truly about

Interestingly here it mostly seems to be all the same: right, hard right, harder right etc  In things like surveys, a scarily large group of Muslims and Christians (although less of them than years ago, apart from the way too Christian towns like the one I live in) and so on generally show they are rather strongly in favour of having no equal rights for people who fall outside their strict 'moral beliefs'. A frightingly large number answers questions like "How bad is it when people are attacked for being gay?" with answers on the scale of "Too bad, but they shouldn't be gay then". I don't know how the groups tend to stand on economical issues, that's a bit less investigated

Of course depends of the country, here the muslims are practically all conservatives and that is what i see of them all over the world, it isnt a "bad thing" at all, like all things, its has the good and bad aspects.

are you considerer socialist?, is something shocking coming from somebody of USA, on the other hand, is a good thing of you the tolerance for religious people, for me the problem is not the religio, is the fanatism (in everything).

Bernie Sanders got 13 million votes in the primaries of 2016 and the total electors in the final vote was 127 million. That's a good 10% of the people voting "socialist", as you would say.
