Why are young evangelicals "more pro-life but anti-religious right?"

How can an emerging generation be more committed to the pro-life cause but less committed to, if not outright hostile toward, the movement which pushed it to the forefront of evangelical engagement with politics and culture? . . . It may be a natural consequence of the refinement of a movement as it passes from one generation to the next. . . . The oldline religious right had a tendency to reduce the faith to catchy slogans which could fit on a placard or a bumper sticker. . . . A new generation seeks substance, not mere symbolism. If there is one cause that cries out for substance, it is the sanctity of human life. . . . The oldliners . . . immersed themselves in the stagnant waters of pluralistic politics, where the language of faith had to be dumbed down to such inoffensive and innocuous phrases as "family values."

Editor: Thought provoking. One thing he misses, though, is that the "oldliners" were responsible for the pregnancy care centers and the maternity homes, etc. The Republican Party found it beneficial to co-0pt them (us), and now they're tired of us so they call us names.
