trip, I seemed to see more megachurch buildings that appeared to be abandoned.

I don't know the statistics, though.

How does a church go from being liberal and egalitarian to hard right? Was there objection? Did certain portions of the congregation leave?

Cults have always existed. Is this a cult or a valid and growing movement?

I think your points in the last paragraph may speak to the increasingly large number of people who feel marginalized by the current economic situation, but I may be wrong.
