Christian Democrats would be close to the center, so accommodating them would requite a bulls-eye zone that would have to accommodate Buddhists, Muslims, and Jews who have their own democratic tendencies. Generally eschewing militancy except in war (they may hate war, but that does not precluding them from waging it well, as did FDR) and especially terrorism on behalf of or in opposition to the State, so if you want an orange zone for them, then that is your choice. Scientific progressives? They are obviously not traditionalists, as science has frequently refuted tradition. Nationalists? It depends upon the person. Free enterprise libertarians? Not likely. Socialists? not especially, unless they labor under a 'Socialist' regime. I would clearly put Darwin, Einstein, and Freud into the counter-culture zone. But Planck? Hawking? Euler? Gauss? Leibniz? Copernicus? Euclid? Archimedes? Fermi? Sakharov? Chandrasekhar? Galileo? Mendel? Faraday? Lavoisier? Curie? Bohr?
One might as well discuss creative people.The traditionalist Fyodor Dostoevsky is almost a polar opposite to the ultra-Left Bertolt Brecht. I doubt that Richard Wagner and Frederic Chopin would have gotten along. Picasso is socialist to an extent and counter-cultural on the other.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
