| Abstract | From the end of World War II to the Barry Goldwater presidential campaign of 1964, the meaning of conservatism underwent an important shift as Right-wing thought became increasingly associated with religious belief. Three conservative intellectuals -- William F. Buckley Jr., Will Herberg, and Whittaker Chambers -- did the most to effect this change and forged a religious-conservative nexus by basing their opposition to the growth of state power in religion, conceiving of anti-communism as an extension of this concern, and claiming opposition to secularism and relativism as conservative causes. Their efforts drew many religious intellectuals to their side, but ultimately created internal contradictions in the conservative movement that were never resolved and created many of the splits among conservatives that persist into the present. |
