Abstract
The emergence and success of conservative Christians in partisan politics have provoked alternative explanations. These include geography, religious values, social status, party identification, alienation, and symbols. The author divides them into rational and nonrational categories. The latter includes alienation and dislocation. Analysis of the 1984 American National Election Study shows that support for the Christian Right came from religious and political beliefs and responses to political symbols, not from social strain.
