One can't understand the Christian Right and similar movements unless one sees them as reactive - they're reacting to what they call secular humanism.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As a Christian, there is no other part of the New Right ideology that concerns me more than its self-serving misuse of religious faith.
Though claiming to represent a conservative form of Christianity, the Religious Right is politically a form of Protestant liberalism.
Yet humanitarianism is not a purely Christian movement any more than it is a purely humanist one.
The proper reply to right wing religiosity is not to insist that politics and religion don't mix. This is the stock response of the left.
The chief modern rival of Christianity is 'liberalism'... at every point, the two movements are in direct opposition.
Leftism seeks to undo most of the values that are distinct to Judeo-Christian religion.
Churchgoers in America are notorious for jumping into movements, even ideas that are hard to listen to. But when they actually have to change their lifestyle and do something about it, it rarely translates into action.
Conservatives and liberals understand the Christian faith as a set of ideas because, so understood, Christianity seems to be a set of beliefs assessable to anyone upon reflection.
When you listen to Christian radio stations - and there are thousands of them now in the United States - and when you listen to Christian television networks - and there are thousands of Christian television shows across the country - they are all politically right.
The people who believe themselves to be on the left, and who defend the agents of Islam in the name of tolerance and culture, are being rightwing. Not just rightwing. Extreme rightwing. I don't understand how you can be so upset about the Christian right and just ignore the Islamic right. I'm talking about equality.
