→1960 and beyond
The decade of the 1960's would begin the most dramatic moral change in America's history. While a more developed moral social consciousness helped to effect beneficial and needed changes, such as in the area of civil rights, based upon non-moral aspects as race and color, this recognition of basic equality was used by liberal moralists to advocate liberty for immorality, most predominately in the area of sensuality. The 1960's culminated with [[Woodstock]] 69, with the decade being marked by rebellion against authority in general (though usually not to living off it) and against capitalism, and the promotion and practice of pre-marital [[sex]], recreational drug use (seeking to escape, or find reality), the rise of [[feminism]] and the advocation of liberal ideology in general.

While most of the [[Liberal Media|main stream media]] and University professors in America are seen to treat this ''revolution'' and its foundational ethos as liberating and beneficial, its effects have been manifestly deleterious, as evidenced by multitudinous studies. <ref>[http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/RevealingStatistics.html REVEALING STATISTICS]</ref>

While promoting tolerance, the 1960's cultural [[revolution]] birth an unprecedented intolerance of traditional values, while its affection for drugs - used to find the alternative reality they sought - and fostering of a victim mentality, had destructive effects upon society, in particular its weakest members. The emphasis on social justice may well have been a means to justify a basic rebellion against authority in general, in particular fathers, headmasters, police officers, soldiers.
The rejection of Biblical and traditional sexual laws and promotion of sexual promiscuity and [[homosexuality]] would result in a greatly increased incidence of infectious diseases and premature death, with a half million of Americans dead because of [[AIDS]].
Colleges and universities largely became the seminaries of the new cultural "religion" and its ethos. Revised standard studies and new courses, such as gay studies, and the increasing neglect of core subjects, became part of the new orthodoxy. Relative few teaching posts became staffed by conservatives. 50% of American college faculty identified themselves as Democrats and only 11% as Republicans.<ref>72% described themselves as "to the left of center," including 18% who were strongly left. Only 15% described themselves as right of center, including only 3% who were "strongly right".

Religiously, a notable number of young persons honestly seeking for reality became part of what some term a [[Fourth Great Awakening]], out of which evangelical churches such as [[Calvary Chapel]] began and grew to be significance denominations.
