Activists in Christian Right organizations are exerting increasing political muscle within the Republican party. This article examines the impact of religious variables on the variation of attitudes of activists in the Ohio Moral Majority. Within this relatively homogeneous population, denominational affiliation, frequency of church attendance, religious-group identity, and the strength of the subjective connection between religious and political attitudes all exert an influence on political attitudes. The impact of these variables is significant after controls for demographic variables and partisanship are introduced. These results suggest that religious variables may exert strong influence on the attitudes and behaviors of those for whom religious beliefs are highly salient.
