Theoconservatism
Theo conservatism is a political philosophy that is associated mainly with the United States and the Christian Right.
In general, it refers to people who are not only believes that God's commandments should play a greater role in public life, but also that more socially -conservative precepts of the Bible should be implemented by the state. Although there are no clear dividing lines, they can be distinguished from the Christian Socialists, who stand out more on the welfare aspect of the gospel. Although Christians are found along the entire width of the political spectrum, Theo conservatives tend to be fiscally and socially conservative. In the United States, the term is often used, for example, the political commentator Andrew Sullivan in relation to the Republicans when he addresses their attitude on social issues such as same-sex partnership or abortion.
The abbreviation Theocon is a term that is in the political rhetoric for a person whose conservative ideology includes the belief that religion should play a major role in practical politics. The term typically means people of the Christian right, especially those whose ideology combines a synthesis of elements of American conservatism, conservative Christians and social conservatism that manifests itself politically. The term first appeared in 1996 in an article in The New Republic. Jacob Heilbrunn wrote: The neoconservatives believe that America is unique because it is founded on an idea - A commitment to human rights embodied in the Declaration of Independence - not in ethical or religious affiliations. The Theocons also argue that America is founded on a common idea, but they believe this idea is the Christian faith. Damon Linker wrote the book: The Theocons: Secular America Under Siege.
In Germany, as theologically conservative also considered the " German [n ] america and israel friendly Christe [n ], the politically interested people in Germany again for the Triune God, Christian values and a biblically sound Christian conception of man as the foundation for good policy want to win.
