      my understanding is that many cultural practices in america stem from that age. which ultimately led to all kinds of weird shit. eg the mania for fighting the scourge of masturbation led to Graham crackers and mass male circumcision, allegedly

      also very curious about the intersection of that religious upheaval with progressivism. on some things (temperance) they seem deeply aligned, on others potentially at odds (progressives were the OG eugenicists, the religious against abortion) wonder if the latter caused a split

      yeah the later 19C and pre-atomic 20C is what's on my mind but worth noting the abolitionists were heeeeeavily religiously motivated contrast lincoln's biblically-inflected language with the hazy deism of founder rhetoric sometime btwhttps://twitter.com/ClwnPrncCharlie/status/1391309404016889857 …

      someone doing a religious history of America might contribute by tracking Great Awakenings over time. here we have One, Two, and Three; maybe we peg the 60s as a Fourth and the current Awokening as a Fifth

          That last Asleepening was some pretty chill times, too bad it's over now. Is America doomed to repeat this silly loop forever? Is that what America is all about?
