Perhaps the ultimate secret behind Mencken's heoric status to "palaeos" is that we now know from his personal writings that he was an anti-Semite--perfectly appropriate considering his hatred of and hostility toward the Bible.
I'll never understand why any "conservative" would admire this piece of trash.
Dislike for 'Holy Rollers' like William Jennings Bryan and what they stood for was the literary spirit of the time. Sherwood Anderson, Sinclair Lewis, Dreiser, almost all the naturalists of which Mencken was a part of shared those sentiments. Even something like 'Our Town' is generally acerbic.

And William Jennings Bryan was no "holy roller."
