If i believe in God and since I am a conservative, does that mean i am a religous right?

Question

even if I don't impose my beliefs on anyone?

Answer 1

Do you believe that other people's gods are fake and that they are foolish for worshipping them? Do you think that you are guaranteed entry into heaven, while the non-believers or "other" believers are going to hell? Do you feel that religion needs to be integrated into government and schools?

A yes to any of the above would qualify you as a member of the religious right.

Answer 2

Actually, being conservative means that you are on the right. Being religions means just that. So if you are a religious conservative, then you are indeed on the religious right. But don't let that upset you. So am I and I wouldn't change it for anything.
I don't try to force the teaching of Creation in school science classes because it is not a science. I don't try to stop others from worshipping as they wish. But if they are willing to listen to me, I will try to convert them. On the other hand if they say "no", I smile and move on.
I am a Christian and believe that you can't force someone to come to Christ. They have to want to. All I can do is witness and share.
Unfortunately, the far left has managed to blur the difference between the religious right and the religious fanatic. They are not the same.

There is absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever in sharing your beliefs with others who are willing to listen. It is even permissible for you to believe that other people's beliefs are wrong so long as you do not try to quash their beliefs <--Religious Right.

The problem comes when you try to hold them captive and impose by law or force your beliefs on those who aren't interested or kill/imprison those who won't convert. <--Religious Fanatic.

Answer 3

The answer is no. The Religious Right is almost fanatical in their beliefs and defines a particular subset of conservatives who seek to impose their beliefs on society as a whole. However, some Democrats and especially liberals wish to categorize all conservatives in this manner in a dishonest attempt to discredit the views of all conservatives. I am not religious at all, but I am a conservative. So how could I reasonably be categorized in any religious content, especially given the fact that I do not as a rule state anything even remotely religious. Yet, I have been attacked on numerous occasions as being a right wing religious fanatic. It is just as useless and dishonest as calling all liberals anti-American.

Answer 4

You can believe in G-D, still have your conservative views and not be a religious right. You should be able to believe in anything you want and have your own views whether they be conservative, liberal, etc, without having a label put on you; as long as you are not forcing them down anyone's throat.

P.S. I am a liberal and do not believe that all conservatives are religous fanatics trying to impose their views on anyone that doesn't agree with them.

Answer 5

No, it is when one imposes their belief system on others that they become considered the religious right, most of us believe in a higher power and believe that each of us has the right to worship that power how they perceive fit .

Answer 6

No, but I disagree with you on your definition of religious right.

The religious right does not impose their beliefs on anyone.

Answer 7

Nope - the religious right want to enact biblical law to run the country. If you allow others to live there own lives and don't meddle your just a good religious person.

Answer 8

You hit the nail on the head--the religious right seeks to impose their beliefs on everyone because they believe so strongly they know what is "right" for everyone.

Answer 9

It means you are like most Americans, the ones you here the most from only make up about 20% but squeal like liberal cut pigs.

Answer 10

You should be glad that the three strike rule doesn't apply......Wow! 2-0 already.....
