The Evangelical witch-hunt* can be described in classic C[ircles] A[nalysis &] S[ynthesis] terms.

As traditional Protestantism moves on an O[uter] C[ircle]** rotation from its origin on the Right (hence the singing and dancing, possibly sincere but still an absurd parody of real artistic inspiration and commitment), fear of the approaching Left semicircle leads to ‘reactionary’ dogmatism among the more stupid members and a renewal of hatred of all Left semicircle phenomena*** – in symbolic fact, a witch-hunt.
