I've been in fundamentalist churches all my life and I've never met a person who thought that bad news "hastens Christ's return". And I've known some ignorant, illiterate Christians.
Of course, ultimately Christ will come when He wills, not when we try to get Him to. While I believe that the time is near for various reasons, the disintegration of America's Christian culture (which seems to be slowing finally) is not really one of them.
