This is a political expression that has been used in the United States since the late 1970s. It refers to conservatives (usually from the Republican party) who are very religious (usually Evangelical Christians, but some conservative Catholics as well). Some, but not all, believe American was intended to be a Christian nation, and others believe American society has become too secular. While most do not want a theocracy, they do favor governmental policies that give special protections to Christian beliefs. Most members of the religious right oppose gay marriage and abortion, some oppose the use of contraception, and most want to see a return to Christian prayer in the public schools.

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.
