Non-religious Republicans of Lemmy, how do you reconcile your non-religious convictions with a party that bases a lot of its policies on religion?

E.g. abortion rights, anti-LGBTQ, contempt for atheism, Christian nationalism, etc.

You can still own guns in Australia, at least. It just requires applying for permits. I don't get why people would be opposed to that

Introducing regulations usually doesn’t mean complete and utter ban.

From the mouth of my dad "you'll be in a list and they'll know you have guns. I shouldn't have to register for a right that's in the constitution"

There's a ton wrong with that statement, but he's willfully blind to any of it. He hung up on me when I pointed out all the issues that statement had XD
