Extremist Pop Culture, the American Evangelical Right, and the "Satanic Panic" (jhiblog.org)

The Satanic Panic was hilarious and disturbing, ultimately highly educational.

Hilarious that people could troll and mislead themselves so fully. If you can laugh at people ignoring reality to follow religion and truly bizarre characters. Disturbing in that religion and religious insanity was driven to harm the lives of caregivers. Educational that this what people are made of and how they live and move in the world. Anyone looking to influence society or buffer society against influences saw lessons in manipulation of people and institutions.
