undercover with the evangelicals

Kos has a diary up from someone who went "undercover" in an evangelical community in Navada. It is a fasinating read, but I'm not sure how much to believe its conclusions. As with any such personal anthropology, the individuals he spoke with could have been unusual and his observaitons biased. More significantly, his observations seem to be all confirmations of a liberals worst fears (secret book burnings, cultures built entirely out of shame, etc.).

If there were an extra hour in the day, I would spend time reading the empirical sociological literature on fundementalism/evangelicalism/conservative christianity.
