The Religious Right

The Religious Right refers to a political movement in the United States that combines conservative Christian beliefs with advocacy for specific social and political issues. This group typically promotes traditional family values, opposes abortion, supports prayer in schools, and seeks to influence legislation based on their religious ideals. Emerging prominently in the late 20th century, the Religious Right has played a significant role in American politics, particularly within the Republican Party, mobilizing voters and shaping public policy to reflect its values. Their influence continues to impact debates on morality, education, and governance.
