Now, be prepared for the media assault (see Victory in Florida Feeding Case Emboldens the Religious Right).
Why is the term "religious right" thrown around without being questioned? I did an admittedly unscientific search on Yahoo! News for "religious right" and "secular left", which resulted in 231 hits for the former and only three for the latter.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
