The New Christian Right, 1981-1988: Prospects for the Post-Reagan Decade (Studies in American Religion)

This work presents a comprehensive overview of the philosophy and activities of the New Christian Right (NCR), which are characterized by a conspiracy theory - that secular humanists are responsible for the degeneration of the country into pervasive evil - and by a social agenda of activism in the areas of abortion, pornography, homosexual rights, prayer in the schools and creationism.
