They're vulnerable, and it's easy for Religious groups to convince some of them that it's the fault of the "other." And the other ain't Reaganomics and related government policies in this world. Recruitment to these (Religious) groups is easy when the recruits are looking for some out-group to blame. Religious groups convince desperate people that their situation is not their fault (usually true), and that they are heroes in their own little play -- they are fighting an enemy who is trying to bring them down. And the enemy is people who do not look or believe like them.
