how did Protestant Fundamentalism gain such populatarity?
I am a conservative Roman Catholic Republican from Chicago (as in Chicago, not burbs). I am astonished how Fundamentalism has swept through Protestantism and the Republican Party. I have som Protestant friends and family (mainline as in Lutheran, Presbyterian, Episcopal) and they seem to be at odds with the fundamentalist beliefs as well.How did this movement gain in popularity and has it weakened the mainline churches?
Just my conclusion that evidently you don’t see a
conflice between being a follower of Christ and
being involved in politics?
What political affiliatins did Jesus Christ have on earth?
John 18:36 6:14, 15

Truth
Roman Catholicism has so watered down the truth of God with "sacred tradition" that it barely registers a heart beat on the eeg of Christianity
It’s there…..but barely

I blame it on the Puritans.

The cheap grace afforded the OSAS heresy is very alluring. God does it all. Christ died for all my sins, past present and future, no need for works. Very different from and significantly easier than "the economy of salvation" embraced by Orthodoxy.

The fundamentalist doctrine of easy salvation like Once Saved Always Saved. It’s very appealing to the masses.
