The Evangelical religions have been mutating quickly, too. All this anti-gay stuff is quite new— not that they weren’t anti-gay in the olden days but it wasn’t a big deal, since gay people kept their heads down. The anti-abortion thing is basically late 18th century as well. In addition, lots of American Christian sects used Christianity to sanction slavery— and that bit of doctrine has changed, too. Obviously, the ‘liberal’ Christian sects have changed greatly in their attitudes towards women, since we have women in the clergy now in some of them. Etc. etc.
