      "Pro-Family Activists"
      "The Christian Right"
      When people speak of the "Christian Right", they are talking primarily about one of the following six organizations:
        The Family Research Council
        The Christian Coalition
        The American Family Association
        Concerned Women For America
        The Eagle Forum
        The Traditional Values Coalition



      Affiliated Organizations
      There are, in addition to these groups, several other organizations that, while religious and conservative, are not as overtly political as the groups above. These groups include:
        Promise Keepers
        Focus on the Family

        The Free Congress Foundation
        The 700 Club

      "Religious Mainstream"
      "Liberal Extremists"
      There are several groups that have entered the political world to oppose the efforts of these religious conservatives. The main organizations involved in this effort are:
        People for the American Way
        The Interfaith Alliance
        Americans United for the Separation of Church and State
        The Institute for First Amendment Studies
        The ACLU



      "Fighting The Right"
      In addition to the above organizations, there are literally dozens of sites dedicated to "fighting the religious right". Below are the best examples:
        The Interfaith Working Group
        The Queer Resource Directory



      Misc.

        Government is not God PAC
        The Rutherford Institute
