Sanctity and purity resonate far more with conservatives too.
Jonathan Haidt did lots of work on this and published The Righteous Mind for a lay audience.
Hsidt's "specialty" is "the psychology of morality and moral emotions".
In other words, he's a moron.
Have you ever considered the possibility that people who are experts in areas you know nothing about are not necessarily morons?
Have you ever considered the possibility that I might know more about this area than you think?

Discussing why that is would be futile, and would only make you worse.
