DESCRIPTORS Comparative Analysis; Organizational Effectiveness; Political Influences; *Political Power;*Religious Organizations; Social Networks; *Success IDENTIFIERS Mobilization; *Moral Majority; Social,Movements ABSTRACT The Moral Majority has been more successful in mobilizing conservative Christians than three otherevangelical groups--Third Century Publishers, Christian Voice, and theReligious Roundtable. According to the literature on socialmovements, four Oossible explanations for the success of such groups arethat they have access to financial resources, canmaintain an exfensive network of communications between organizers andconstituents, can draw upon the expertise and skills of social movemententrepreneurs, and can mobilize during a period in time in'which thersis a favorable conjunction of issues. None of these factors proveswholly satisfactory in accounting for differences among thefour organizations in their mobilization of supporters.The Moral Majority was more successfulbecause its leadership provided it with access to pre-existing networks which were unavailable toother Christian groups. For example, JerryFalwell's "Old Time Gospel Hour" provided a communications linkvia television to a large national audience. The Moral Majority's genius lay in linkingwith a national network of nservative clergymen and in championing issues ofmajor concern to this group.

Their reaction against humanism is due to their failure to distinguish properly between religion and morality.

However,the fact that it clashedwith 'born again' PresidentJimmy Carterover tax breaksfor religiousschools believed to be discriminatory,together with its illiberalstances on manyissues, meant that it was characterizedas an extremistmovement.

By the early 1970s, Calvary Assembly of God, a church that had started with a dirt floor, was declared one of the fastest growing churches in America with membership easily reaching over several thousands.1 In the late 1970s and 1980s, it became a major religious and political force in central Florida so much so that it had received visits from then presidential hopefuls Pat Robertson and Vice President George Bush.

  • To Crush the Serpent”: James Baldwin, the Religious Right, and the Moral Minority
    ESSAY “To Crush the Serpent”: James Baldwin, the Religious Right, and the Moral Minority Joseph Vogel Merrimack College Abstract In the 1980s, James Baldwin recognized that a major transformation had occurred in the socio- political functions of religion. His critique adapted accordingly, focus- ing on the ways in which religion—particularly white evangelical Christianity— had morphed into a movement deeply enmeshed with mass media, conservative politics, and late capitalism. Religion in the Reagan era was leveraged, sold, and consumed in ways never before seen, from charismatic televangelists, to Christian- themed amusement parks, to mega- churches. The new movement was often char- acterized as the “religious right” or the “Moral Majority” and was central to both Reagan’s political coalition as well as the broader culture wars. For Baldwin, this development had wide- ranging ramifications for society and the individual. This article draws on Baldwin’s final major essay, “To Crush the Serpent” (1987), to examine the author’s evolving thoughts on religion, salvation, and transgression in the context of the Reagan era. Keywords: James Baldwin, religion, Moral Majority, religious right, Ronald Reagan, “To Crush the Serpent,” 1980s At some point in the 1980s, James Baldwin must have been flipping through chan- nels on TV and stumbled upon an appearance of Jerry Falwell on Nightline, or perhaps Pat Robertson’s talk show, The 700 Club, or maybe Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker’s Praise the Lord (PTL) network. These figures were so ubiquitous during the Reagan era it would have been difficult not to. While we may never know the full range of thoughts looming behind those large, inquisitive eyes, Baldwin, fortunately, did leave behind a written record on the subject that offers important insights into the author’s evolving thoughts on religion, salvation, and transgres- sion from the final decade of his life.
