Ok, change it to "Religious Right", same values espoused.

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.

Not meant to be. Reading some of the posts in this thread reminds me of why FreeRepublic detractors are sometimes correct about the hypocrisy of the "Christian Right" as to compassion, forgiveness, from stone throwing glass house dwellers, and the inability by many here to find absolutely NO redeeming qualities from people with whom they disagree.

Labels, labels, labels.

Change the BOLD above to whatever you like:

Religious Right.

People of Faith.

Good and Decent People.

Regardless the label, that attitude, unfortunately, describes many here.
