The evangelicals control all major centers of power in the city and it's the headquarters of multiple Christian terrorist organizations, like Focus on the Family and the US Air Force Academy.

It’s a city of half a million people, most of whom have little or no connection to those organizations. And they just elected a politically independent black Nigerian immigrant as mayor. It’s a lot more diverse and complicated place than just a cult town.

That mayor is a former pastor who teaches at evangelical churches.
