Abstract
This project examines the alternative democratic theory of the Christian Right and how it differs from conventional concepts of liberal democracy typically associated with the United States. Through a discourse analysis of Christian Right advocacy - including rhetorical materials, messaging, alternative history, and group mission statements - I demonstrate that the movement envisions a wholly separate democratic theory rather than merely a bundle of policy preferences.
