Top 5 Things to Remember about Victorian Religion and Evangelicalism
1. Victorian religion and politics were intertwined.
2. Religious bullying was a method of criticizing and condemning other denominations as well as coercing people into following Christian morality.
3. Evangelicals placed great emphasis on morality.
4. Even non-believers (agnostics, atheists, etc.) made up a religion of sorts. They felt extreme pressure to prove they were just as morally sound as Christians.
5. Evangelicals emphasized personal relationships with God through Jesus. To them, simplicity was more important than rituals and ornate decorations.
