In 1987, when Gary Hart had a young woman stay all night in his New York townhouse, he was forced to drop out of the presidential campaign. And ultimately this triggered a decline in sort of the status of Christianity in society that is still going to going today. From say, 94 to 2014, we went into a period I called the neutral world. We hit a tipping point where Christianity is no longer seen positively, but it's really not necessarily viewed negatively yet either. Then around 2014, we had a second tipping point in what I called the negative world, where for the first time in the 400 year history of America, Christianity is essentially viewed with disfavor by secular society.
