That may be true... but the extreme left (socialism, marxism, communism) are based in blatantly anti-religious ideologies, and inasmuch as extreme conservatives are given their title based preserving the status quo of social power structures, this includes religion...
I agree that in reality there is no correlation, but there is a reason for people to perceive an imaginary connection based on (perhaps loosely) affiliated ideologies... so it should not be so surprising.
