  It is interesting that you bring this up. I was recently having a discussion
in a class about this.
   We had begun discussing about cahnge in the world, many feel that our genera
tion is at the edge of a new era.  On in which many changes will take place, es
pecially in the area of religion and spirituallity.
   We came to feel that the reactions of the religios right were in fact a reve
lation of the common fear of change.
   Afraid to push forward into a new world, the religious conservatives are act
ing out of blind fear by retreating to dogmatic hullabalo.
   Also, although I havn't really studied this much, may have something with wh
at Nietzsche said.  from what i understand Nietzsche not only declared that God
 was dead, but that there would be serious consequences in his abcence.  Namely
 that numerous groups would rise up to fill the shoes The religious ultra conse
rvatives seem to fill this description pretty accurately.
