Not a lot of gay orgies at least

It's likely religion doing its thing again

What is the mechanism that you believe is at work? "Religion" doesn't really explain anything and comes across as possibly bigoted.

It's quite a religious country

With the two major religions both not having a great track record regarding treatment of gay people

And not liking religions that want to see one dead is not bigotry, but self preservation

I'm not sure you've understood the question, because you have (probably unintentionally) avoided answering it. Forgive me if I now over-specify.

You've presented some circumstantial evidence against religion; "religion was involved in these bad things." I am asking for the mechanism by which religion causes these bad things to happen. What is it that religion or religious practice actually does that you believe leads to these outcomes?

You weren't talking about "religions that want you dead," you were speaking very generally about the entire concept of religion. Are you trying to hint that you have a personal history that makes you biased and I'm not going to get objective reasoning out of you?

I'm really not sure what you want as an answer.

Of course I'm biased against religions that literally see my existence as evil incarnate.

If your religious leaders are constantly going to tell you that the gays are the root of all evil, if course the homophobia will be rampant.

The country is basically split 50:50 in christianity and islam. The islamic side will just straight up kill you, while the other side will put you into prison for over a decade.

I'm not sure if you want a soundbite of me saying "yes, I'm bigoted against a country that is homophobic to the core", because I'm happily saying that, yes
