    yep. human worldviews are remarkably diverse and often don’t rigidly conform to our expectations. browsing through gallup data is a good reminder every once in a while.

      Yes but… isn’t the whole point of liberalism “personal liberty above everything, keep regulations to the extreme minimum”? To me that feels like a vegan that randomly decides eating one type of meat is ok.

      Re-reading the survey, if the options were only Conservative, Moderate and Liberal I can understand why some leftwing religious people would choose that, but it still feels weird to me.

      Like, in my mind the opposite of Conservative is Progressive, not Liberal. That’s the opposite of Authoritarian.
