How did Ronald Reagan’s policies and beliefs reflect the New Right conservatism?

The (Second) New Right conservatism was reflected in Ronald Reagan's belief that the U.S. represented "the city on the hill," an ideal dating to Puritan settlements in colonial America. Reagan believed that it was the country's sacred duty to defeat and halt the spread of Communism.  Working with his national security team, Reagan issued national security decision directives to disrupt the USSR's economy and provide backing for central and eastern European groups opposing the Soviets.  He enlisted the aid of allies to increase the pressure on the Soviet Union until the Berlin Wall fell in 1989.
Ronald Reagan earned the support of the religious right when evangelicals supported him in the 1980 presidential election.  Though Reagan himself was not an evangelical and had supported abortion rights and the rights of homosexuals to teach in public schools before his presidency, he later flipped on these social issues, along with keeping marijuana illegal and advocating to retain state laws against homosexuality. He felt that welfare benefits encouraged dependency instead of people getting back on their feet, and thus cut social programs.
Reagan also urged deregulation that would aid corporate America, and he instituted, for example, repeals of environmental protections. He also cut taxes and spending, which New Right conservatives believed would help the American economy grow.
