No, but I think the existence of the ‘religious right’ was a sign that religion was already in decline, in that things that were once universal moral norms, like opposition to abortion and pornography, were becoming debatable issues.

It's also an interesting notion in terms of gay rights, as the first post-Stonewall steps towards queer protections were happening beginning around this time (repeal of sodomy laws, the Dade County nondiscrimination ordinance that Anita Bryant infamously fought against leading to gay bars avoiding using orange juice, etc.) and were hotly contested after an era of near-universal shaming of the practice. Of course, after the Moral Majority 80s it went back to being a moral punching bag until very recently.
