Research Abstract
The original aim of the research, namely an assessment of the degree of influence that Christian evangelicals in the conservative camp (the Religious Right, etc.) and the liberal camp (the Religious Left and Evangelical Left) have on U.S. politics, was largely accomplished through a comparative analysis of the nature of the positions and the movements of these two camps in regard to global environmental issues, although it did not prove possible to carry out the planned organizational analysis of the two camps. The findings revealed that the fundamentally opposed attitudes of these two camps on the issue of global warming have four aspects: (1) science (the causes of the global warming, human activity vs. a natural cycle); (2) theology (stewardship vs dominion); (3) the economy (big vs small government; and (4) politics (Democratic liberalism vs Republican conservatism).
