The Truth Behind The Religious Right and the Republican Party Issue

The Evangelical branch of the Republican Party is currently having a hard time in identifying itself with the GOP. The religious right has loosen up its power and scope in the previous years.

Mitt Romney, who was a Republican 2012 presidential candidate, was a renowned Mormon.

He did not considered himself an active member of the Evangelical wing. In turn, the religious right was absent in the election, indirectly helping Barrack Obama to be seated in office.

In the final years of the Bush administration, the religious right was beginning to fade away because of the issues faced by Ralph Reed and Jack Abramoff. This was one of the factors that created a negative impression on the movement.

If things were carried out properly, it should have been that programs like MediCare and MedicAid were improved and that the unemployed were relieved of their miseries.

That is the virtue of Christianity - helping each other. Christianity is all about brotherhood and the care and love that go with it.

What happens here is that people should understand that good acts are far better than just religiously following a religious deity.

The people who are considering themselves as religious followers of Jesus Christ see themselves as helpers of the poor. When in reality, the opposite is happening.

They continuously link their "helpfulness" and "acts of charity" to their superiority because of their link with the Republican Party. It is through this that the Evangelical movement is becoming a degrading order.

Now, the public is informed of the true nature that this religious right has. This shows that people need to be more vigilant and careful in choosing the party that they want to support. Sometimes, it camouflages its negative traits to acquire supporters.
