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).

Theological versus Political conservatism

Theological conservatism does not necessarily equate to political conservatism and the Christian Right. Some Evangelicals are politically liberal (e.g. Tony Campolo). Similarly, in many theologically conservative African-American churches, leaders and congregants have tended to support political liberalism, such as civil rights or economical issues.
