The possibility of a "christian moral revolution" in the US is very real.
Fundamentalists are 30-40% of the population, growing, a majority in
some areas, and could reasonably take control of the national
government, as they largely control the Republicans. It's happened
twice before in the US. A "hindu moral revolution" has basically
taken over India recently. A libertarian moral revolution is IMO
also quite possible but it's far from realization, unlike these
religious ones.
