At a time when you couldn't always get two Baptists of different stripes to work together on a bake sale, Falwell founded the Moral Majority on the argument that fundamentalist Christians, Orthodox Jews, conservative Roman Catholics and Mormons had so much in common politically that they should overlook their theological differences.
