== American secular progressivism and backlash ==
== American secular leftism and Christian backlash ==
Historical in the United States, political victories by the [[secular left]] helped cause a period of increased religiosity among religious conservatives.
Recently, the secular left has shifted many universities politically to the left and instituted policies such as [[political correctness]] and a greater degree of discrimination in the hiring of conservative professors. In addition, [[same-sex marriage]] was legalized in the United States in 2015 and some Christian businesses which deal with weddings such as bakers have been fined for refusing service to homosexuals who wanted their services related to weddings. Historically, biblical Christianity has often thrived during periods of increased persecution/discrimination.
