Moral Majority: Organizations
built 186 days ago
At the heart of Moral Majority is a direct-mail operation..... Membership claims.... put the number of Moral Majority's active supporters at roughly 4 million Roman Catholics, Protestant fundamentalists, and orthodox Jews. The organization says its "hardcore contributors," numbered at more than 400,000, include a cadre of 80,000 priests, ministers, and rabbis organized into fifty autonomous chapters.

Acceptance of a conservative political platform makes the Moral Majority appear to be more of a trend than an organization. However, it is still a serious threat to American ethics and world security. Preaching that America is God's favorite country and centering "religion" around American interests is not only dishonest but ... stupid. Any first-year theology students can tell you that the premise of the Bible is of worldwide peace and serenity. It would be a mistake to associate America with perfection.

Many pundits proclaimed that the influence of the religious right was waning after the collapse of the Moral Majority and the defeat of Pat Robertson’s presidential candidacy in the late 1980s. But groups such as the Christian Coalition and Focus on the Family worked on grassroots organizing and media-based fundraising. They have built a powerful political apparatus — a network of national and local organizations, mailing lists, media, and training schools, with an ability to mobilize followers quickly.
