The Kingdom of God stuff was what the more off-putting of the old-school televangelists were (at least perceived to be) selling, and the image wasn't helped with the likes of Pat Robertson running around either. The Satanic Panic was the other side of the coin from Telvangelist Panic that actually started under Reagan but intensified under Bush and continued even harder for some reason under Clinton (thanks to the Oklahoma City bombing, and the subsequent panic over "right-wing Christian militias". Too bad the Muslim training schools in the woods of New York and the like after 9/11 didn't get quite as much attention, and I wonder if they were ever actually dealt with.
