Any deviation from any of the above puts you at odds with the hard core American conservatives.

Religion is not on the same level over here as it is in the US, which is why the whole god argument isn't very effective (and rarely used) in anything to do with politics here.
That being said though, our current opposition leader is quite a long way to the right and is quite religious. Who knows what will happen next year if his party wins.
