Well, I dunno that they completely change. I'm sure plenty of churches are still like that. But I've been to a range of Methodist and Southern Baptist churches and haven't really seen anything I'd consider greedy, overtly political, or with over-emphasis on damnation.
I'm sure some people would point to any reference to hell or salvation as being "fire and brimstone" type stuff, but I really don't see it.
