phrase
dirigeant de l'association


Explanation:
I think that both "politically conservative" and "Christian-activist" refer to the association. [...] un dirigeant de l'association americaine de famille - une association conservatrice et activiste chretienne.

or if you don't want to repeat the word association,
[...] -un groupe conservateur [...]

I\'m reading your translation again, and I don\'t see anything wrong with it. Mine is just another option.

un des dirigeants de l'Association pour la Famille Américaine, orientée "conservateurs" et militante


Explanation:
Voilà à mon très humble avis ce que j'aurais chois. Peut-être "militant" ne plairia pas, mais "intégriste" est un peu fort, et même si je n'aime pas "militant" en général c'est peut-être le moment de l'utiliser!

Je le sais bien qu\'un activiste c\'est un militant! C\'est pour ça que je n\'aime pas le mot...ni le fait!
