Who Are They?

In the US, conservative Christians make up the majority of the Religious Right movement.

The Moral Right in UK are a mixed bunch.

Their causes range from biblical, ethical (pro-life, anti-vivisection) and cultural (media watchdogs) issues, their sizes from individuals to thousands.

However, what makes this movement different from any conservative group is their attempt to impose their values on others, and that's where the debate lies.

Some of the well-known groups include Christian Voice, Evangelical Alliance, Christian Institute, Church of Scientology, Pro-Life Alliance, British Victims of Abortion, UK Lifeleague, MediaWatch UK and Sir Peter Vardy, a Christian evangelical entrepreneur.

Value voters decided US elections

While the terms “religious right” or “Christian right” are commonly used to describe such groups in the United States, in Britain, some groups do not prescribe to a particular religion and the movement isn't limited to Christians only.

Still, their rise across the Atlantic, which gave George Bush his second election triumph, has raised concerns among secularists about a possible trend in United Kingdom.

Former editor of Daily Telegraph Charles Moore called American Religious Right “values voters.”

In an article after George Bush's second victory, he predicted and welcomed a similar expression of “a mixture of religious belief, universal moral tradition, a desire for social cohesion, a reflection of their own experience and a certain common sense.”

But why are the Moral Right angry?
