Final answer:
Late-twentieth-century fundamentalist Protestant political organizations in the U.S. attacked the legalization of abortion, enforcement of separation of church and state, and the growing toleration of homosexuality while opposing mandatory school prayer and state-funded religious holiday celebrations.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the late-twentieth-century United States, fundamentalist Protestant political organizations often attacked several issues that they believed contradicted their conservative values. These issues included the separation of church and state leading to the absence of government aid for religious schools, the toleration of homosexuality, abortion rights, and the prohibition of mandatory school prayer and state-funded Christmas celebrations in public schools. Conservative evangelical groups like the Moral Majority were influential in advocating for social and fiscal conservatism, including tax breaks and the reduction of the federal government's size, yet supported increasing its power to ban what they considered sinful behaviors.
Evangelical leaders such as Jerry Falwell leveraged media, specifically through televangelism, to promote political candidates and agendas that aligned with their conservative social issues. Despite some reluctance to directly merge church and political affairs, fearing the loss of tax-exempt status, these organizations played significant roles in political campaigns and influencing social norms by opposing multiculturalism, gay rights, the feminist movement, and other liberal social changes they deemed harmful to traditional family values.
