Do evangelicals love big government?


In a Wall Street Journal editorial, Heather Wilhelm asks if evangelicals are learning to love “big government.” With evangelicals focusing on the environment, AIDS, and prison-rights, Wilhelm wonders if we are seeing a “new liberal breed of evangelical.” "Why are these people punting to the federal government?" asks Jay Richards, an evangelical and a research fellow at the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty. "You can't be compassionate with other people's money. Even worse, they're not thinking about the consequences of these policies. They're too busy feeling warm and fuzzy and absorbing liberal ideas."
