Read the comments of sociologist W. Bradford Wilcox on R&E's national survey of America's evangelicals:
This survey indicates that average evangelicals are deeply concerned about the moral health of the nation. Numerous observers have connected this concern to increased evangelical Protestant participation in politics. But this survey also suggests that evangelicals are as concerned about what happens in their own homes as they are about what happens in the U.S. House of Representatives. Evangelicals are seeking to change the moral climate both in the public and the private spheres.
Faced with a culture they see as debased and debasing, evangelical parents are devoting more attention to their families. One way they are doing this is by monitoring the media their children encounter. This survey, for instance, indicates that evangelical parents are more likely than other parents to prevent their children from watching objectionable shows (76% versus 54%) and playing violent video games (61% versus 47%).
