The religious right is tiny. It is politically powerful, but not large or otherwise particularly influential. Politically, it represents a tiny part of the Republican party... an incredibly small minority that has some power because of its traditional (lost) strength and big mouth. Socially, the percentage of people who side with the religious right is almost as vocal, but even smaller. They may have control of the situation, but not through numbers, which means that control is tenuous.
