That doesn't compute. Christian right wingers are extreme right on social issues especially. Social issues are those informed by religion. Pagans are a small minority of folks in any case, and most are on the left in all respects. There may be some like a guy I know who is fiercely loyal to his ancestry, because they were oppressed by the majority culture or state.

This article describes the political leanings of pagans. The article shows their political views are diverse, with most favoring environmentalism, and some falling into the libertarian trap or supporting Trump. Most tend to be on the left.
