Religious Right Softens Image Declares Peace in War on Religion

I guess Romney losing is putting some sense into the religious right.

Between the rise of the unchurched and the moderation of young religious conservatives, experts say, a smaller movement may emerge — one that retains its current zeal but carries less sway over the selection of GOP nominees. Or the movement could retain its power by successfully diversifying and coming up with a new way to talk to voters.

"We plan to reach out with a softer, pro-family agenda—less emphasis on the sexual points, more talk about family," Marx of the Faith and Freedom Coalition said. He also said activists would develop a "forward-looking" policy agenda akin to President George W. Bush's "compassionate conservatism."

Also they need to back away from social positions like the earth is a few thousand years old and that global warming is fake. It might be a good idea to just keep Creationism and Intelligent Design in parochial schools as well. 

What a compassionate Christian Rightist needs to be talking about is that all schools need to be improved instead of trying to shoehorn their beliefs into the classroom. Instead of fighting a war in the classroom let all classrooms prosper. Do good works and people will flock to you. Don't try to change minds by forcing your beliefs on anyone.

Finally, the sexual issues need to be taken off the table entirely. So no talk of rape or abortion from any GOP candidate going forward. If a GOP candidate is asked about abortion they can just say this is my deeply held belief and has no standing on how I would govern.
