I am not certain why you insist on conflating Christian and Right-Wing -- many Christians are rather Left-Wing politically, and many Right-Wingers are agnostic, if that matters a bit. And I do not recall any of the sort of polemics of the sort you describe when the Chernobyl disaster occurred - and at that time, I was rather active in what you would probably describe as "Right-Wing" politics. I do recall a lot of comments from engineers about the various warnings the West had sent the USSR over the decade or more prior to the disaster about the dangers they were running. though.
