From calls for universal healthcare to anti-war activism, the religious left has had an enormous impact on American politics and the Democratic Party (while the Republicans, as we all know, are a bunch of godless social darwinists ) in particular over the last decades. However, many forget that there also use to be a somewhat powerful religious right. It mainly focused on social issues, taking a conservative fundamentalist stance, but it also tended to be economically right-winged and hawkish on foreign policy. The challenge is to make this religious right as powerful and influential as the religious left is today, preferably while making it associated with the Republican Party.
