Evangelical Christians ( by "Evangelical Christians" I am using the term in the sense that modern demographers use it, not in its more theo-historical usage that describes the evangelical activity of the church catholic ) are well known for their strict sexual ethic.

The basic liberal belief is that education can and will solve all of society's problems. Lost your job? Re-educate yourse
