| | Rise of the Religious Right in the Republican Party |
 | | Twenty-five years ago dominionists targeted the Republican Party as the vehicle through which they could advance their agenda. |
 | | The country is not yet a theocracy but the Republican Party is, and they are driving American politics, using God as a a battering ram on almost every issue: crime and punishment, foreign policy, health care, taxation, energy, regulation, social services and so on. |
 | | Since the Republican Party has majorities in both houses of Congress, they set the agendas, chair the committees, and decide which bills will and won't come up for a vote. |
