The Christian Right

The Christian Right is a conservative movement within American Christianity that advocates for policies aligning with traditional Christian values. It emphasizes issues like opposition to abortion, promotion of family and religious morals, and the preservation of what they see as religious freedoms. Members often support policies that reflect their religious beliefs in the public sphere, influencing politics and legislation. The movement gained prominence in the late 20th century and is primarily associated with evangelical Protestants and conservative Catholics who seek to shape American society according to their interpretation of Christian principles.
