"In fact, they actively seek to distance themselves from the movement's subculture. Not a single artist or entertainer referred to the evangelical subculture in positive terms. Derision was more likely."

Faith in the halls of Power: How Evangelicals joined the American Elite
by D. Michael Lindsay

Now before you think that I am just a sociological, intellectual type, this book is a book that I worked as a transcriptionist on, so that is why I have it close by, because I am in my office and that's where the book is, as a representation of and motivation for all my hard work day in and day out! Interestingly enough, if the tag had me quote just a few sentences prior, I would have quoted Mr. Lindsay quoting Chris Smith from his sociological research and subsequent published works. And Chris is my brother in law! Ha!

Oh, and I don't have anybody to tag. Everybody that's already been tagged is anybody that I know. Sad, huh?
