Christian democracy is a religious and political ideology that believes democracy, human rights, and the Christian faith are mutually compatible. Christian democracy is often considered centre-right on cultural, social, and moral issues (and is thus a supporter of social conservatism), and it is considered centre-left "with respect to economic and labor issues, civil rights, and foreign policy."[1]
