The "Religious Right" was a term given to Christian conservatives in the late 1970s and early 1980s who became active in politics. A more common general term is "social conservative." The movement and term is still active today. The general belief is that the common national morality of our nation tracing back to its Judeo-Chritian roots has been eroding and that a return to morality is needed.
People on the "Religious Left," a newly founded movement meant to weaken the impact of the religious right, argue that moral issues and traditional family values are not important, but focus should be placed in government run and administered secular social programs instead.
The religious left are declining in terms of influence and conservative Christianity is growing in influence because the religious left in Christianity are losing many members and conservative Christianity is growing especially overseas.[1][2][3]
