The answer, when broken down to it's most simple truism, is that the right wing can only exist in a hoary dreamscape populated by various stretches of blind faith. This is how the secondary religion of the right ends up being a stringent orthodoxy to the proven failures of a raw, unregulated, purely "free market" utopia. -JBall

==Rationality vs Faith==
The right is more religious because their ideology is more based on faith than rationality. They have faith that
A.) Christianity is right
B.) Trickle Down economics work
C.) In a capitalist system the rich will donate to charity to help the poor
D.) Life begins at conceptions
etc
the left however, don't have this faith and thus put in laws that make people help those beneath them. They don't take it on faith that homosexuality is bad, or that a fetus is a person, and they are in general less trusting of mankind
