Chapter 20: Can’t We All Just Get Along?
1. Personal conversation with the author. Also, political scientist James Guth “showed that supporters of the Moral Majority tended to be less educated than their opponents, from less affluent churches, and less active in the life of the Southern Baptist Convention. They were, it seemed, a marginal group unlikely to have much long-term influence, even though the fundamentalist conservative wing had won the presidency of the SBC in the late 1970s after years of moderate control.” That quote comes from Jerome L. Himmelstein, To the Right: The Transformation of American Conservatism (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1990), 121–22.
