Thesis: the rise of the Religious Right is one of the greatest threats to American civil rights and civil liberties today.
Religion has always exerted great influence in America. The early colonists: the Pilgrims, the Puritans, the Quakers, the Jews, and others have come to this country to avoid religious persecution. Some of these groups, like the Puritans, however, were not tolerant to other religions. This intolerance has continued to this day. The Christian Fundamentalists of the Religious Right, much like the Puritans of the early Colonies, believe that only their idea of what�s right and what�s not is important. The fundamentalists, then, have launched a crusade to turn America into a Christian empire, and in doing so, went against the ideas of the Founding Fathers, written in the Constitution. This Paper will examine their reasons for doing so, and what exactly do they have in store for America.
