No, but you do have to believe that our rights God given -- that state power is not the final arbiter of right and wrong.
Ann Coulter certainly thinks so. I was watching her on CSPAN one night speak to this, that being a conservative is based on Christianity.

Comments like this might help her sell books to vast number of "social conservatives" but it alienates anyone else.
