'''Victorian morality''' is a rigid perspective developed during the [[Victorian era]] that included a great deal of [[censorship]], secret lives, [[double standards]], and a lack of [[pro-life]] discourse.  Ultimately, references to the [[Bible]] itself seemed to result from the lack of [[freedom of speech]].  Part of Victorian morality was a [[liberal denial]] about [[Jesus]] welcoming sinners.

Victorian morality is based more in a pretension of [[Rule of Law]] than in the [[Bible]], which was rarely quoted publicly or by writers in [[England]] during this period or afterwards.  When [[atheism]] replaced [[faith]] in [[Emgland]], Victorian morality became [[liberal censorship]].

[[Charles Dickens]], perhaps the most prominent author of the [[Victorian era]], felt compelled to keep completely secret from the [[London]] public a [[Christian]] story that he wrote, and a mistress that he had after his marriage fell apart.  [[Mary Shelley]], one of the most popular novelists from the era who was [[pro-life]] and penned classics including ''[[Frankenstein]]'' and ''[[The Last Man]]'', personally lived contrary to Victorian morality.
