Christian right

Christian Right is a term collectively referring to a spectrum of conservative Christian political and social movements and organizations characterized by their strong support of traditional social values in the United States and other western countries. The terms Christian Right and Religious right are sometimes used interchangeably, although this is problematic (see discussion at Religious right).

Notable persons and organizations said to be members of the Christian Right

It should be noted that more militant figures such as Fred Phelps (progenitor of godhatesfags.com) have never had a significant following, and others, such as controversial figures Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, who once had built coalitions, made overzealous statements that lost a previously broader base of support.
