This essay aims to contribute to ideology research by examining how Sweden's Christian Democrats' health care policy has developed over time in a society that is becoming increasingly more secular and how the party's ideological appearance has been affected by this. Through a text analysis using an analysis scheme with two political domains (secular and religious) and three levels of analysis (authority, the construction of healthcare and the view of people), all election manifestos and party programs from the Swedish Christian Democrats since 1973 have been analyzed. Previous research has shown that the Christian Democrats have adjusted their ideology by rather using the ideology as a source of inspiration. Previous research also shows that Christian democratic parties must strategically regulate their ideology and religious appearance in order to remain relevant in a society where the influence of religion is decreasing more and more. Through an analysis, it was clarified that between 1973-2006 the party balanced between seeing the state and religion as authority, only to assume after 2006 that the state is the authority. The analysis also showed that the party considered that the construction of healthcare should be based on the Christian Democratic idea of a unified system until 2001, where they turned to the assumption that conflicts of interest are what is needed to develop healthcare. Last but not least, it emerges that the party's view of people in the context of care has always been related to the religious domain where they advocate the right to life and absolute human dignity. The Swedish Christian Democrats have thus become increasingly secular in two out of three levels of analysis, and the conclusion that the party has strategically changed its ideological appearance can be drawn.
