There’s a difference between what parties call themselves and what they do. For example, if you ask the leader of the Christian Democratic Union in Germany (who is also currently the chancellor) whether he supports Germany to be solely Christian nation, declaring the Bible as the ultimate source of state morality and legal philosophy, and impose Christian religious law on the population, he will ask whether you’re out of your mind and what asylum you just escaped from. But ask the same to the leaders of the “secular” US Republican Party and you may receive a vastly different answer.
