Résumé
The religious right, Claude-Jean Bertrand In the United States believers can be categorized as pre- and post- millenarists. Among the former — conservative, even reactionary — the evangelicals are the most numerous. A minority, fervent and nostalgie for the original theocracy, followers of the biblical rules, regained popularity in the 1950s and again in the 1970s, thanks to the use of mass media. After the surge of the Reagan'era and the fleeting rise of the Moral Majority — a movement more symbolic than representative of the new Christian right — this minority now seems in a downward phase.
