Not necessarily entirely true. The "morality" of the American public (oddly enough with a predominat inclination towards religious affiliiation per capita) was openly preyed upon by self-interests.
While no "Pat Robertsons," "Jerry Falwells" or "Brother Jeds" of the era come immediately to mind, this battle was waged equally in the religious sector ot the country and no doubt that wing contributed its share of uninformed zealots and zealotry with as equal a fervor as the "pagan" sector. There were no sanctuarys from this particular epidemic of ignorance during that period.
