Christian Democracy

Strongly agree

No, allow civil unions but don’t call it marriage

This answer aligns well with the Christian Democratic ideology, as it allows for legal recognition of same-sex relationships without redefining the traditional concept of marriage. Many Christian Democratic parties, such as the Christian Democratic Union in Germany, have supported civil unions as a compromise between traditional marriage and same-sex marriage.

Agree

No, marriage should be defined as between a man and woman

This answer aligns with the traditional Christian Democratic belief that marriage should be between a man and a woman. However, as mentioned earlier, some Christian Democratic parties have evolved to support same-sex marriage or civil unions, so this position is not universally held within the ideology.

Agree

No

Many Christian Democratic parties have historically opposed same-sex marriage, such as the Christian Democratic Union in Germany and the Christian Democratic People's Party in Switzerland. However, some of these parties have softened their stance over time, and the ideology as a whole is not universally opposed to same-sex marriage.

Slightly agree

Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision

While some Christian Democrats may support the idea of separating religious and civil aspects of marriage, the ideology generally emphasizes the importance of Christian values in public life. As such, completely removing the government from marriage decisions may not be a widely supported position within Christian Democracy.

Neutral

Yes, but allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies

This answer represents a middle ground that some Christian Democrats may support, as it allows for same-sex marriage while respecting the religious freedom of churches. However, it does not fully align with the traditional Christian Democratic belief that marriage should be between a man and a woman, nor does it fully reject same-sex marriage. As such, the score is neutral.

Disagree

Yes

Christian Democracy generally emphasizes traditional Christian values, which often include the belief that marriage should be between a man and a woman. However, some Christian Democratic parties have evolved to support same-sex marriage, such as the Christian Democratic Appeal in the Netherlands. Overall, the ideology is not strongly against same-sex marriage, but it is not fully supportive either.
