In Japan, Shinto is associated with Japanese nationalism. Just because it doesn't affect people's views on gay marriage doesn't mean that it has no effect on politics.

Recall that the original issue was whether libertarians are just conservatives less religion. Are you applying this claim globally or you think it's purely a US thing?

Going back up a thread a bit

Most issues where libertarians are socially liberal have the conservative side heavily influenced by religion.

I suggested law and order as a conservative issue. You think it's "heavily influenced by religion"?

"Most" is not "every issue".
