Christian right

The Christian right is a group of people who follow the religion of Christianity and hold certain beliefs that guide their lives. They believe that humans have a responsibility to obey the teachings of Jesus, the founder of Christianity, and take these teachings seriously in all aspects of life. They believe that religious values and beliefs are very important in guiding people’s decisions and actions. They often work to influence public policy to reflect their views, like protecting religious freedoms and opposing abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, and sex education in schools.
