Christians have been known in the past for their loud condemnations of films containing immoral or inappropriate content–and so it might come as a surprise that American evangelicals go to more movies each year than their non-Christian counterparts!

Are evangelicals becoming more discerning and mature in their attitude toward mainstream entertainment, or are they lowering their guard against dangerous secular influence? That depends on who you ask–read Dahlman’s essay for the story.
