Just one tiny problem: religious voters in American life since 1976 (when the so-called New Right first made its presence known) increasingly have been opposed to true morality. Falwell is a good case in point, when justice for African Americans was the issue, he was opposed to Christians in politics. Fortunately, the vast majority of churches in the mid-west were not in agreement, and they became one of the important blocks of voters that pressured their representatives in Congress to support the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the voting rights bill of 1965. On the other hand, when religious bigotry, militarism, homophobia, and anti-feminism emerged as viable political issues, Falwell advocated the rush of evangelicals into politics. Both the American polity and American religion have been damaged beyond recognition by the immorality of the New Right’s agenda. Restoring morality to American policy appears more likely when the most openly religious lose all chance of election.
