Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Liberal Protestants believed in rational inquiry and social activism, which is in direct opposition to the fundamentalist rejection of modernism and opposition to evolution. They also did not support William Jennings Bryan during the Scopes trial. While they may not have outnumbered fundamentalists at the time, they have had a strong influence on Protestantism in America since the early 20th century.
