2) speaking of Christian, in the second poll many of the countries listed are majority or plurality Christian.
The poll is only of Muslims in those countries.
my mistake, but even if you look at polls for countries that are Christian you have similarly high numbers. Uganda especially is notorious for their recent bill that criminalizes even knowing if someone if gay and not reporting it.
But there are many, many majority Christian countries that have legalized gay marriage and robust anti-discrimination laws. There are no Muslim countries that have anything close to that. What do you make of that?
If you look at where countries legalize and approve of gays it generally is countries that are more “developed”, educated, and democratic. Most of the countries that are the harshest again gays, Afghanistan, Uganda, Russia, El Salvador, etc. are places with low “development”, low education, and poor or no democracy. It just happens that many traditionally Christian countries fit the former and many traditionally Muslim countries fit the later.
This trend in education/development is even present in the US. Mississippi has the lowest HDI in America and the lowest support for gay marriage (but HDI isn’t the perfect metric for this).
