Robert Grant (Christian Leader)
Dr.
Robert Grant is often called the father of the modern
Christian right in
America. He serves as the Chairman of
Christian Voice and the
American Freedom Coalition.
Wikipedia's
Christian Right listing reports "As a modern political force, the Christian Right began in 1974 when Dr. Robert Grant founded
American Christian Cause to advocate Christian moral teachings in Southern California. Concerned that Christians overwhelmingly voted in favor of president
Jimmy Carter in 1976, Grant founded
Christian Voice to mobilize Christian voters in favor of candidates who share their values. Grant involved national conservative leader,
Gary Jarmin, in his movement and made national headlines when Christian Voice-backed candidates including
Ronald Reagan,
Steve Symms,
Dan Quayle, and
John East defeated entrenched incumbents in the 1978 and 1980 elections. Grant's movement was said to have played a significant role in the election of President
Ronald Reagan in 1980 and dozens of immitators were founded including
Concerned Women for America,
American Coalition for Traditional Values, and the
Christian Coalition."[
