A really interesting item from the Washington Post:

Latter-day Saints haven’t suddenly become popular.  Evangelical popularity is plummeting.

 

On one level, I think some Evangelicals have brought this on themselves through their aggressive triumphalism and, sometimes, through their air of sheer smug superiority.  (Evangelical anti-Mormonism affords an unappetizing illustration of these traits, but it’s not the only illustration.)  On another level, I’m afraid that the shift reflects an unhealthy change in the broader American culture, a deterioration in our once-shared moral environment.
