It seems to me the involvement of Fundamentalists in mainstream politics has been something of an unstable innovation, brought about quite deliberately as a development of the Southern Strategy. (Not all Fundamentalists are social conservatives, but most of them are.) I think a good many of them have by now realized that they were being cynically exploited, and that in any case the promotion of utopian or other-worldly religious values does not go along well with the dirt and viciousness of day-to-day political struggle.
