Those who have commented on the religious right I think answer Harlow's question (anyone remember the "I HATE Obama!!!" preacher passionately praying before a congregation that God would smash Obama's face in or "break his face" or something? Utterly unthinkable in the UK). While there might be *some degree* of cross-over between Conservative voters and CofE types, on the whole people in the UK prefer to keep politics and religion distinct, and the extremism and rage evident in the so-called Christan Right simply isn't there. But then neither is the Christian extremism, which is perhaps where the "political hatred" arises from in the first place?
