Is Latin America overall more gay friendly than Eastern Europe?

In other words, the more religious you are the more discriminatory you get against homosexuals. I mean, it's not exactly shocking or anything since both Ukrainians and Russians are more religious than say Czechs for example who are predominately either atheists or agnostic. And yes, the Abrahamic religions are the most homophobic religions in the world.

Irreligious people being more pro-gay than religious people is something that just occurs in Abrahamic/ex-Abrahamic societies. The reason is cause ex-Abrahamic people are tricked into thinking that the only reason people can be anti-gay is purely out of religious conviction, so they automatically become pro-gay once they leave the religion due to associating anti-LGBT thoughts exclusively with their religion of upbringing.

But if you look at societies without an Abrahamic background, you'll see that being irreligious isn't often related with being pro-gay like in the case of China and Vietnam.

Being pro-LGBT is related to the Western culture of individualism which is why you'll also see more pro-LGBT sentiment among Westerners that identify as Christians compared to some non-Western groups such as Buddhists, Hindus, or other religious sects where LGBT behavior is not condemned in their religious texts (and only not condoned for cultural reasons).

Also, in the past, being pro-LGBT wasn't so heavily associated with being irreligious like it is today in countries with an Abrahamic background. That's why anti-LGBT sentiment was common among atheists in communist countries like the USSR before.

Its not about ortodox christianity, its about post soviet ideology, were people in eastern europe were told that all homosexuals are pedofiles and sexually harras children.

It's neither. Eastern Europe has more conservative/traditional culture compared to Western Europe. Even among Orthodox countries, there's a disparity regarding how pro-LGBT they are based on how conservative the country is.
