They love those concerts and fun centers in their congregations, but fire and brimstone preaching, not so much.

I call it the homogenization of religion. There is big time, tax free money in religion business. If you want to attract the biggest congregations and with it those offering plate dollars, you strip away the parts that are uncomfortable and make it more palatable for everyone. For example, you can’t be preaching about the sin of homosexuality when you’re trying get the gay community into your pews.
