Abstract
Clashes between the traditional Republican
leadership and the Religious Right have surfaced with increasing regularity,
and the basic social agenda of the Religious Right is diametrically opposed
to the younger, more libertarian "Yuppie" voting bloc.
The main thrust of this paper is first, to examine the true nature
end goals of this emerging interest group; and second, to see if the Religious
Right will prove to be a valuable asset or a disintegrating acid on the bonds
which hold together the Republican coalition. This formidable task will be
accomp11shed by beginning with a basic background on the religious roots of
the movement, followed by a brief historical sketch and a description of the
main socio-political agenda of this interest group. A solid understanding of
these preceding concepts will facilitate a more well-balanced conception of
what the Religious Right is and what it seeks to accomplish.
