'''Christian Coalition''' is a religiously motivated [[conservative]] group founded in 1989 "as a means towards helping to give Christians a voice in their government again," which claims to "represent a growing group of over 2 million people of faith all across America."<ref>http://www.cc.org/about.cfm</ref>

[[Pat Robertson]] founded the organization after his unsuccessful bid to win the [[Republican]] nomination for president. He appointed [[Ralph Reed]] as its executive director until 1997, when left to start his own political consulting business in [[Atlanta]] and eventually mount an unsuccessful campaign for lieutenant governor there in 2006.

Christian Coalition took credit for the [[Republican]] landslide in the 1994 congressional elections, during the zenith of the organization's influence. In 1996 it backed [[Robert Dole]] for the [[Republican]] nomination and in 2008 [[Pat Robertson]] endorsed [[Rudy Giuliani]].

In 2006, the [[Alabama]] chapter of [[Christian Coalition]] separated from it, declaring that "the national group has been moving to the left ever since a 2003 campaign by the national group opposed the statewide organization on the issue of a tax increase."<ref>http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51655</ref>

An independent group also associated with [[Pat Robertson]], the [[American Center for Law and Justice]], pursues litigation in court on matters of interest to many members of [[Christian Coalition]].
