I'd say their not as bad, though the whole gay-marriage issue has made them show their true colours. Now don't get me wrong, there are Christians that aren't against gay-marriage and non-Christians that are, but on average gay-marriage is a big no-no with many people due to religious beliefs - homosexuality being a sin, etc.
Not being a Christian I feel it's very inappropriate for any political party to use Christian beliefs (or any other religion) as a basis for forming or changing laws, especially those that protect our rights of freedom. Though the Conservative party doesn't stress this as much as the current US Republican party, it has been stated by many of their politicians that they do make choices based on their religious beliefs.
I've discussed this at length with velvetpage so she should be quite familiar with my thoughts on this.
Oh and thanks about the icon, I'm considering something similar to get as a tat.
