Two reasons I can think of:   a praise-worship service that is contemporary and entertaining.
 
and (2)  a social aspect that is inclusive and tolerant.   Conservative churches that major in the preaching of "truth" and doctrinal correctness and hang with the formal and traditional praise service have a different time in today's market   ("market"  --  you know what I am talking about, right Terry?).   
 
During the civil war era, the "liberal churches" were those who opposed slavery.

I think seeker sensative is the term you are looking for.  In our neighborhood, racism, divorce and remarriage on unbiblical grounds, adultry, crooked business deals and membership in secret organizations are the norm for church members.  The only ones ever put out of the church are preachers who preach the truth.  That is not tolerated.  This is the Bible belt today.
