There was a big nationwide revival in the US from the 80s on, the evangelical movement, and it has spawned so much shit. Finally it seems to be running its course, I sort of expect the faithful to turn away from politics to some extent in the future as being too secular. They have failed in their goals and sullied themselves (with mainstream evangelical figures cheering on the Iraq war back in 2002-2003), and are in disarray at this point.

Plus their political goal, a wide ban on abortion, is too aggressive and controlling, ignores reality, and caused them to ignore other problems where they could have done more good. For example, they could have fought for more services to the poor and used that to influence people, and this probably would have “saved babies”. But instead they sat on their couches and paid scumbags like Randall Terry.
