Ah, the Vineyard. That's who is to blame for the whole modern mega-church phenomena with pretend rock/country music, faux-casual attire, and claims to be "non-denominational" even though they are thinly veiled Pentecostal or Baptist.

"The 1960's enabled a deep and broad believe-anything-you-want ethos that ended up powering the political right more than the left" - This is sad but true. The current situation on the right with science denial and wild belief in conspiracies, plus their radical religiosity (compared to anything in Europe or even most of our own history), is a direct result of the 1960's mentality of individual above all.

This guy has some good points. The Mormons and Baptists are really uniquely American inventions with no more relationship to previous Christianity than Christianity had to Judaism (i.e.; they both represent pretty significant theological breaks). No judgement on if that is good or bad, just something we tend to forget.
