Christian Right
Political factions that support conservative policies
Real World Example
During the period of "A Crisis in Confidence" from 1968-1980, the Christian right emerged as a powerful political force in the United States. It was a response to cultural changes and moral issues, such as the legalization of abortion and the sexual revolution, which many conservatives opposed. The Christian right pushed for policies that aligned with their religious values, influencing elections and shaping political agendas. Today, this movement still impacts politics, as it plays a significant role in debates over issues like education, marriage, and religious freedom. For example, decisions about what is taught in public schools can be influenced by the Christian right, affecting the education children receive and the values they are exposed to.
