Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper offers an explanation for why the Christian Right enjoys a position of dominance in the Republican Party in some states, but is markedly weaker in others. Much of the literature on the political strength of the Christian Right in the states assumes that the starting point for a successful Christian Right presence in a state is a large evangelical Christian population, commonly referred to as the �target population� of the movement. Because the development of the Christian Right has been characterized as a �defensive� political movement, I adapt a theory of �religious threat� and find that the strength of the Christian Right in a state is conditional on the presence of both a large traditionalist Christian population and a large population of seculars and Jews.
