Social conservatism in the United States is a right-wing political ideology that advocates against social progressivism, centred on the preservation of traditional beliefs. The accepted aims of the movement often vary amongst the various organisations it comprises, making it hard to generalise about the ideological preferences of its professed adherents. There are, however, a number of general principles to which at least a majority of social conservatives adhere, such as opposition to abortion, LGBT rights, gender equality, and the acceptance of Islam in the United States. Social conservatives in the United States by and large ideologically support Evangelical proselytism. ==Views== Social conservatives describe their views regarding socio-political issues as 'traditional' or 'family' values. Social conservatives typically oppose marriage equality for individuals with unorthodox sexual orientation, and oppose abortion. In the 1920s, religious fundamentalists like William Bell Riley and William Jennings Bryan started a movement against the teaching of the theory of evolution, a battle which fundamentalists are still fighting today. Fundamentalist Protestants often advocate the teaching of creationism in public schools. Conservatives tend to strongly identify with American nationalism. An alliance of convenience was generated between them in the last half of the twentieth century under the doctrine of Fusionism, created by the ex-communist Frank Meyer, editor of the ''National Review''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Social conservatism in the United States」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
