July 1, 1976 Page 7 Fundamentalism and the national elections that “Washington” is undercutting their (PNS) -- The 1976 campaign has seen newly acquired status with improvident both major parties slide perceptibly to welfare programs and federally-funded the right with the two long-time con school programs that ignore their values. Hence they are not often sympathetic servative gospels - lower government spending and a tougher military and dip to social concerns - in contrast to many of lomatic stand - emerging to dominate the the older, snore affluent and secure Pro races. Yet pervading the long primary testant churches. (That billiona of government dollars campaigns - almost like a shadow -- has been a third issue: religion - the “God have been poured into sunbelt urban cen ters for defense contracts - making fed factor.” With extraordinary skill, the two lead eral spending the largest single factor in ing challengers to President Ford - Ron the region’s economic take-off - is a con ald Reagan and Jimmy Carter - have sideration they tend to ignore.) topped into one of th richest and least recognized veins of political power in the Sophisticatioa and technical training nation: the doctrinally and politically Like the fundamentalists of the 1920’s, conservative sector of American Protes the new evangelicals stress literal ac ta n tis m know n as e v a n g e lic a lis m , ceptance of the Bible's words - or what is estimated at half the nations’ 80 million known as “strict innerancy” - a principle that is fundam entally conservative in Proteston-.s. Concentrated in the so-called Sunbelt both its religious and political applies of the South and Southwest, the evangel tions. As late as 1959 one hundred years icals consitute a young, family-building constituency that is just now beginning to afte r D arw in published Origin of the “make it" economically. Led by the 12.7 Species - the teaching of biology in million member Southern Baptist Con American schools was still dominated by vention - growing at the rate of a quarter what Dr. Herman J. Muller characterized million a year - the movement uniformly as “antiquated religious traditions”. And stresses personal faith, Bible teaching, when the National Science Foundation family life and evangelicalism (Lu., being introduced new modern biology courses to schools in 1964 they encountered stiff “born again”). Their general ideological position, as opposition, most noticeably in the sun John R. Coyne of the National Review belt. Noises from West Virginia to the con puts it. is “HARD Christian, and there fore conservative.” A major prophet is trary, most textbook controversies have the Reverend Billy Graham, whose latest not issued from impoverished rural folk • book. Angels, has sold 1.3 million copies in Appalachia. They have come, as Dr. Dorothy Nelkin of Cornell points out in a since publication last September. The movement is by no means exclu Scientific American article, "from middle sively «Mute: thousands of Blacks, Chi class citizens, many technically trained", canos, Orientals, and Indians are also large numbers of whom reside today in the South and Southwest, where the members. It is made up of loosely organized sects, areospace industries are concentrated. With modern sophistication, these new with little emphasis on structure or hier evangelicals now insist on “equal time” in archy. Whether consciously or not, the Carter the public schools for their “special crea and Reagan campaigns have been tailor tion " model of the universe. Many of the ed to fit just such a constituency. Carter’s most influential activists are "scientific Southern Baptist religious views have creationists” - believing there is a scien drawn steadily greater attention - gen tific basis for the Biblical version of crea erating over 100 articles in the national tion - who hold degrees in science. The press alone. A product of the evangelical movement. Carter prays “about 25 times a day" and reads the Bible every night. Like Carter, Reagan allows that he too has experienced the transformation as sociated with being “born again” and em phasize! the importance of providing "spiritual leadership” to the nation. One of Reagan's most popular punch lines is to say that if we could get Washington out of the classrooms we might be able to get God back in. Even President Ford is said to have turned strongly evangelical recently. His son attended the Gordon Conway Semi nary in Massachusetts, a leading evan 5 8 2 8 N .E . 8 t h gelical school, and Ford is himself a close friend of the Michigan evangelist Billy Graham. by Carey McWilliams movement even has its own journals, educational projects, research institutes and proposed textbook». But the evangelicals are concerned with more than textbooks. What seems to motivate them is a growing disenchant ment not with science and intellertual- ism, but with their fruits as they began to be reflected in the late 1960’s in the highly technological urban centers of Texas and Southern California. Mounting protests over the Vietnam war, the proliferation of new “radical" life-styles, and the spread of “loose mor als" increasingly alarmed the evangelical constituency. Nor were they pleased to see new cults ba. d on Eastern mysti cism springing up in their midst - or to note that “pot" was being smoked so promiscuously. The famous social critic. Thorstein Veblen, referred to the fundamentalism of the 1920’s as a form of postwar “ner vous prostration”, and in much the same sense the new fundamentalism is a reac tion to pressures and tensions stemming from rapid change. In a world which seems to be coming apart at the seams, the emphasis on a Bible whose veracity is beyond question is immensely reassuring. I t is hard to see, however, how the evangelical movement can, in the long run, retain its cohesion. In time the evan gelicals are likely to divide on the basis of status, education, income and achieve ment. The middle income evangelicals will identify less and less with the political and economic elites aa they emerge, with their performing arts centers and hand some new museums, in the new sunbelt cities. But for the moment, the evangelicals constitute a powerful new constituency in a region booming with wealth, population and political power.

God-Fearing The rise of the evangelicals parallels the emergence of the Sunbelt as the nation's major new area of economic growth. Religion has been described as the art of self encouragement, and the evangelical sects have provided impor tant psychological and social boosts to the region's newcomers - particularly South erners and other low income Americans, many of whom came from strong evan gelical backgrounds. Flooding into jerry-built subdivisions, these entrants to the defense and aero space dominated sunbelt economy are anxious to acquire middle-class status. But the older Protestant churches tend to be less than totally open, more formal and discriminatory. Dress, education and life style act as social barriers. The doors of the evangelical sects, in contrast, are wide open. Only a simple declaration of faith is required for mem bership. Like others who are in the process of "making it”, the evangelicals are inclined to attribute their success to the fact that they are hard-w orking, God-fearing types. As such, they are easily persuaded Church S e haal Morning Warship Wed. Noon - The Hour of Power Wed.
