Among the other parties, those on the traditional right wing (liberal, conservative, including center parties) associate Christianity with national identity in at least one platform (with the exception of the Danish Liberal Alliance (Liberal Alliance)), while parties on the left wing (leftist, green) never do this. Variations occur over time between the different right-wing parties, but the overall tendency is stable. The following example from Iceland illustrates how a reference to religion and national identity may be expressed:The Progressive Party thinks it’s important for the nation to know its roots, cultural heritage, and the ethical values on which it has based its society, throughout the centuries. These ethical values have mostly grown from a Christian ground, because the Christian Church has molded the national culture during the last millennium. (Progressive Party (Framsóknarflokkurinn), Iceland, 2007)
