But thinking about it logically... a religion is a belief in something, whatever it is.
Well, no, a religion is a belief in a deity or an afterlife (I do realise that isn't the greatest definition of religion, but my point stands). It is not just a belief in anything. Hence a belief in the ideology of the conservative party is not a religious belief, although I would consider it equally misguided.

Anything we don't understand is by definition illogical to us, so there are a lot of illogical things out there.
Again, not really. Simply because we don't understand something does not mean it is illogical. Logic and understanding are separate.
