Among the [[Christian right]], particularly the Protestant right, ''globalism'' is an umbrella term which includes perceived secular aspects such as [[environmentalism]], [[feminism]], and [[socialism]]; globalism is believed to underlie the expansion of the [[New World Order conspiracy theory|New World Order]] – a prophesied enemy attempting to thwart Christianity – through organizations such as the European Union, United Nations, and World Trade Organization. Globalist values, promoted by the UN as a whole and the [[World Health Organization]], among others, are perceived to be at odds with Christian values. UN conventions on [[Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women|discrimination against women]] and [[Convention on the Rights of the Child|children's rights]] have thus been fiercely opposed by organizations and leading figures on the Christian right, such as [[Concerned Women for America]], as methods to weaken parental rights, destroy the traditional family, and separate children from their religious and familial settings. The UN as satanic enemy is a theme in apocalyptic Christian media, such as the 1990s–2000s series ''[[Left Behind]]'', in which the UN is run by the [[Antichrist]], as well as [[Pat Robertson]]'s 1991 ''[[The New World Order (Robertson book)|New World Order]]'' and [[Hal Lindsey]]'s 1994 book ''Planet Earth 2000 A.D.: Will Mankind Survive?.''{{Cite book |last=Buss |first=Doris |title=Globalizing Family Values: the Christian Right in International Politics |last2=Herman |first2=Didi |date=2003 |publisher=University of Minnesota Press |isbn=978-0-8166-9517-1 |location=Minneapolis |chapter=Constructing the Global}}
