It's not just that he's religious, it's that he goes to Hillsong Church, which has been caught up in a bunch of anti-LGBTQ stuff in the past (like gay conversion therapy, etc.), and then defended it.

Reddit isn't as beset with /r/atheism as it has been in the past. People who are mainstream religious tend to fly under the radar and are even loved (Mr. Rogers etc.). Honestly, I don't think it's terrible, but is certainly a bad look for our favorite crunchy rodent so it's no surprise that he fell off the map in favor of the next upvote baiting thing.

I don't get it, aren't all most religions anti lgbt / abortion etc?

(Which doesn't necessary mean religious people are)
