And, yes, many are Christian.

But that's not what FR is about.


Ok, change it to "Religious Right", same values espoused. You will have a had time convincing, dare I say MOST here at FR, and likely ALL outside FR, of the fact that FR is indeed inexorably intertwined with Religion, Faith, and by far Christianity the leading faith.

Why don't you just cut out the "religious" or "christian" part of it and stick with "conservative", which is the main thrust of FR.

Otherwise you tie yourself up in knots with those who are religious but not Christian (Jews, etc.) or those who are nominally small-c christian but not particularly "religious", or the others who (like me) do believe in God, the Creator, but lean toward a Deist interpretation of things.

Though I strongly agree with you that God and faith inform many conservative perspectives, once you go an iota beyond that simple assertion you are really walking in the minefield.
