I also know that Ollie North, Jesse Helms, and many other dinosaurs of that ilk are both religious fundamentalists and political arch-conservatives. Why do you think the term "religious right" is so common? Because so many people who are either are also the other, and there are indeed a lot who are both.

There is a cluster of values common to most (not all) members of the religious right wing in this country. They are predominately antiabortion, pro-death penalty, pro-gun, anti-womens' and minority parity and pro-judeo-christian-influenced government (against church/state separation). There are exceptions, but their very status as exceptions highlights the fact that this cluster of values is more often than not found together.
