Fundamentalist/Evangelist Kirk Cameron had a theater get-together make possible by some new technology. He and others like him are providing an alternative model of reality that differs markedly from the MUM model. The division goes back a long time to the 2nd Century CE, with the Gnostics (the Quietists of that day, or Transcendentalists if you will); vs those oriented toward "external" revelation. Obviously in the popularity contest, we know who won out. In fact, Transcendentalism and the method to experience "it" (Gnosis or Self-experience) was considered anathema in the 2nd century (according to the Church "Fathers" like Jerome) and such practices are still considered heretical to people like Cameron. Why? Because if you're getting "Gnosis" or an experience of the Transcendent through a practice of interior revelation, then you're NOT getting it from an exterior source like the Bible or the Pope. Mainstream Christianity is still based on exterior evelation, not personal experience. Cameron was probably able to amass far more people "together" in theaters than anybody in FF could round up in a whole year. The onus is on those who think they know what's "Real" to make a better case. Sorry, but you've lost the popularity contest, by far.
