Deep dives

Transition of American Values

American culture has shifted towards hostility to Christianity, moving from a positive to a negative world view. The decline of Christianity in America is divided into the positive world (1964-1994), neutral world (1994-2014), and negative world (2014-present). In the negative world, Christianity is viewed negatively by official elite culture, and being a Bible-believing Christian can hinder job prospects.
