I've never quite been able to get my head around the Right's seemingly quite easy relationship with Christianity, especially in recent years. Even given communism's attempts to supress religion there's continued to be strong ties between the Left and Christianity in countries like Italy and France which make far more sense to me. Is the Right's appropriation of the bible just a recognition of its value as a tradition? Besides that it certainly seems an odd choice of belief for rampant free-marketeers.
