Militant atheism found fertile ground in the enfants terribles of the bourgeoisie.  They could raise all kinds of hell and get away with it.  It is important to remember that they were not us – the Silent Majority, although the Media would have us to believe it.  They received all the attention while we toiled at our jobs and kept the country and its institutions running.  We served in the military, kept out of jail, stayed away from drugs, and raised the next generation of Americans in real families that had their own trials and difficulties.  However, the outrageous demands and antics of the radicals still smoldered in the Civil Rights Movement, Anti-Vietnam War Movement, post Watergate crusades, and well into the 1980s. Our cities would nearly burn down and the streets turned into avenues where rioters and arsonists ruled the day.  All the while we remained obedient and kept our noses to the grind stone.

An opportunistic confluence of factors created the Civil Rights Movements and resulted in the passage of legislation at the expense of those institutions which made it possible.  Federal bayonets and funding were only part of helping a minority achieve political dominance.  The most significant factor was the Media in its War of the Worlds capability; with the proper tweaking, a false “mass movement” can be created again by whoever controls the Media after this generation dies out.  The illusion of moral sanction will again justify its wildest excesses.
