Sometimes the term Religious Right is used interchangeably with the term Christian Right , although some argue for a distinction. The Christian Right in the United States, for example, has made efforts to reach out to conservative Jews and Muslims, especially in building coalitions against abortion and gay marriage. Thus, at least in some small way, there is a broader Religious Right that exists as a tactical coalition. The main article on the topic of politically active conservative Christians in the United States is at the Christian Right page. Conservative critics object that the term Religious Right involves Stereotyping by leftwing political activists. Others believe that such stereotyping is minimal, and the term "religious right" is used more often than other similar terms (such as " Religious Left ") simply because in the United States a significant number of Evangelical Christians are allied with right-wing political movements.
