The same posters I quoted above wouldn't be as forgiving if I'd posted a comment like, "This device might be very useful for protecting men in San Francisco from the loony gays there." Notice that I qualified my remark with "loony," and I didn't use a modifier.
Until you can show significant references to Hindus or Islamists as the "religious right," I will give your explanation the consideration it deserves: None.

"Religious right" pertains to those people who are both religious and conservative. The terminology itself has nothing to do with preceisely what religion that would be- therefore, any. Just because there's an established group of wackos commonly associated with that terminology doesn't mean they're the ONLY wackos to be associted with that terminology.
I'm not going to bother addressing the apples-to-oranges analogy.
