Please, can I get a quick answer!
WWI was over in 1919.
Your answer is much too vague.

Reed, can you check if my answer is alright?
The world had changed after WWI and the young people have also changed quite a lot. Churches launched new efforts to try and bring people to come back to church.
During the 1970s, there were several changes in American society that affected religion in the nation. These changes included the rise of the counterculture movement, increased secularization, and changing social attitudes. As a result, there was a decline in religious adherence and attendance, particularly among young people.
The changes in religion also had an impact on politics. The decline in religious affiliation meant that religious organizations lost some of their influence and clout in shaping political discourse. Additionally, as a more diverse range of religious beliefs and practices emerged, there was an increased emphasis on individualism and personal spiritual experiences, which sometimes led to a de-emphasis on traditional religious stances in political matters.
It is important to note that these changes are complex and multifaceted, and their impact on religion and politics is not universally agreed upon. If you would like a more detailed and nuanced explanation, I can provide that as well!
