What is the theme of Inherit The Wind?
The theme of "Inherit the Wind" revolves around the clash between fundamentalism and free thought, as seen through the lens of the Scopes Monkey Trial. The play explores issues such as the conflict between faith and science, the importance of freedom of speech and thought, and the need for open-mindedness and tolerance in society.
What was the major question of the Scopes trial of 1925?
It was a conflict between the teachings of theology and science. To some people in the early 1900s, the theory of evolution suggested that men were descended from apes (which is erroneous). The term "monkey trial" was applied to the Scopes trial because a teacher was charged with teaching Darwinian evolution in violation of a state law against it. The underlying issue was whether or not a state statute was constitutional or unconstitutional because it made it a criminal offense to teach the theory of evolution, as opposed to the Bible's teaching of the Creation. Scopes was found guilty as charged, but cleared on a technicality. The 1925 law, called the Butler Act, was upheld by the Tennessee Supreme Court but was eventually repealed by the Tennessee legislature in 1967.

Which issues did the Religious Right oppose?
This topic is highly controversial. I will try to keep my answer as inoffensive as possible. The Religious Right are people who are (usually) Fundamentalist Christians, and whose political leanings are Conservative. Their issues follow from this. The Religious Right opposed abortion, gay marriage, birth control, and the efforts of the courts to keep religion out of government. In other words, the Religious Right wanted to permit prayer in school, teaching of Creationism or Intelligent Design, nativity scenes on public property, and other religious activities. When courts found against these things, the Religious Right was strongly opposed to them.
What happened at the Scopes trial and what made people refuse to believe in evolution?
The Scopes trial was about a teacher seeking to bring issues surrounding the teaching of evolution to the attention of a wider audience. Although he succeeded in this, he lost the trial itself and was fined $100. The law challenged by Scopes was the Butler Act, explicitly prohibiting the teaching of science thought to conflict with scripture - ie. evolution. This law was instated by Tennessee governor Austin Peay, for the usual reasons. It wasn't until 1967 that this particular law was successfully challenged and subsequently repealed.
