In the mid-1980s, when televangelists dominated American airwaves and the Religious Right wielded unprecedented political influence, Jim Luce and his partner Richard Yao took on one of the most powerful forces in conservative Christianity. Their organization, Fundamentalists Anonymous, became so effective at exposing what they termed the “Fundamentalist Mindset” and offering support to those struggling with “religious addiction” that Rev. Jerry Falwell himself declared them the “#1 enemy of the Gospel.” From pioneering discussions about religious addiction on national television to shadowing Pat Robertson’s presidential campaign and testifying against prominent televangelists in Congress, Luce’s work in the late 20th century presaged many of the religious and political battles that continue to shape American society today. His insights into the intersection of fundamentalist theology, political power, and psychological manipulation remain strikingly relevant in an era where similar ideological forces have found new expression in contemporary politics.
