Sure, but there were lots of evangelical/religious voters in the 1980s and 1990s too. There was no hue and cry against banning CFCs from them then, nor claims that god will sort it all out, or anything like that.
It was almost totally apolitical as an issue, and it's very very similar to many current environmental issues (the elephant in the room being climate change). Industry survived the CFC ban just fine (in fact, one would have to say industry of all sorts has flourished since then) and you can still turn on the AC in your car and get nice and chilly.
One would think this nice story would have paved the road for climate change/carbon action as well, but apparently not, because 40-50% of the country now thinks that any mention of the environment makes you some kind of nutty hippy.
WTF changed?
