Does the Religious Right have a monopoly on American Politics?

Question

It seems like it. And please don't copy and paste your answer.

Answer 1

Of course not.

American politics are swayed by lobbyist effort and by popular public opinion.

Not may lobbies out there for the 'religious' and popular opinion is a reflection of the liberal media. Just the way the question is asked, - nearly pre-determines how most people will answer.

With the diversity stuff being crammed down our throats, politically correct speech, crossing out Christ in Christmas. Religion is marginalized as a 2nd rate antiquated concept.

Answer 2

No, they're just well organized and like minded. Unlike liberals ( I am liberal by the way) who can't agree on anything. I don't think they have a monopoly on american politics but I do think they make sure that they're voice is heard. I have a feeling that the next presidential election may change things. I think that even the religious right are starting to see the negative effects of voting solely on the basis of your moral beliefs and will consider a more liberal candidate if that person will help the economy and end the war.

Answer 3

Why should it just have a monopoly on American politics? Or has American suddenly become the centre of the universe

Answer 4

Of course!

We have a major party whose Presidential candidates claim that their religion should be the official state religion (Afghanistan, anyone?) because our Forefathers were Christian, which couldn't be further from the truth, historically.

The religious rights' opposition to gays' having equal rights before the law as guaranteed them by our Constitution, and their advocacy of government-ownership of women's bodies has been played out on a national political stage for the last 2 presidential elections.

Answer 5

No, they dont. They are a very large group however, and they have a lot of sway. Keep in mind, while most americans identify themselves as Christians, most are NOT evangelicals or fundamentalists. They are a huge group however, and Republicans absolutely need their support in order to secure a nomination.

So yes, they are more influential than any one group should be; but no, they have not taken over American politics.

Answer 6

Umm when you say religious right? then do you mean everyone that is religious votes for the right? if that were the case, every republicam would win every single election by at least 90% of the voting...

there are many religions out there, and many people who are relgious who don't vote republican...

Are you saying that every Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Agnostic, Athesiast, Pagon all vote replubican wow then the consverative movement is looking in good shape...

Now I'm sure you meant just christians, but remember probably half of the christians are liberals.

Answer 7

Cathlolic's have the monoploy on American Politic's.

Religion, has nothing to do with Christianity & therefore they are bent on doing worldly things.

If you do not believe this, then you are fooled by the worlds system of things that would rather have you & everyone blinded to these facts.

If you were a Christian, a true follower of Jesus & the Bible, then you wouldn't be blinded to this worldly system(UR eye's would be opened): however so many people are blinded to this smoke screen.
