Whether it is tied to religion or not is an individual matter, but collectively the right is engaged in a culture war.
The right is reacting against a equitable, inclusive society -- indeed, they are calling that a far-left agenda. Notably, "far-left" in this context is a boogeyman-buzzword.
This should be consistently recognised: there is not a both sides to this -- it is one side trying exert dominance.
Both sides are scared, but only one side is actually scary.
