The religious right wing primarily campaigns on abortion and homosexuality - but is this the way Christians should be involved in politics?
Andy Walton of the Contextual Theology Centre had published a report on whether the UK is seeing the rise of a religious right.
Alan Craig is from the Christian People's Alliance, a small political party campaigning for Christian values in society.
Joining by phone from the USA, Brian McLaren is a former pastor and author, and a critic of the religious right. Brian Fisher of the American Family Association is a vociferous critic of liberal America.
