The decline of evangelical Christians.

[Yonadav]

I would like to get some perspective on how our resident evangelical Christians feel about their religion being in decline as a moral and political force, particularly, in the United States.  Do you see this as yet another sign of The Apocalypse?  And, even if so, how do you feel about being part of a shrinking minority, perhaps even facing discrimination over your LGBTQ stance?  Do you look to the Courts to protect you, and in particular, are your views towards such entities, such as the ACLU, changing, as they will sometimes be the ones to protect your 1st Amendment rights?

Here is an article written by an evangelical who has been involved in political activism since before the rise of the evangelical right.  The writer of the article talks about him and some other evangelicals engaging in political activism on behalf of George McGovern in 1972 (the last left winger to be nominated by the party).

Evangelicals are not a monolithic group. There have always been evangelical progressives. Vote Common Good is an evangelical organization that was almost certainly instrumental in flipping a few seats from red to blue during the midterms. The right could not maintain a stranglehold on evangelicals forever. I think that it is sort of an open question whether the evangelicals fevered the minds of the right, or the right fevered the minds of evangelicals.
