War and the economic depression caused many to turn to God and others to turn away from him. Major efforts were made to spread Christianity in the heathen nations and communism emerged as a force opposing Christianity. Evolution challenged Creationism.
In the 1920s religion was still politicaly important and although many cultures from all over the world were already in America at that time Christianity took a dim view of them as multiculturalism was not something to be proud of in those times. Christianity was the dominant religion in America, mainly Prodestant. The Aboriginal residental school system were still in place and inflicting Christianity, labour and abuse on those children at the time, (this was the far right-wing side of how Christianity existed in those times).
However, many religions new to Americans were coming into the country at this time such as Hindus, Buddhists, and Muslims. Some found these people and their traditions interesting and resulted in some 'forign' religions to set up centres in America and Canada, but for the most part they were looked down upon by the Christian population at large.
The Great Depression was the ten year aftermath of the 'Roaring 20s' lasting from 1929 until the outbreak of World War II in 1938-1939. The economy boosted with new invensions and innovations after World War I as everyone wanted these new machines. But then everyone who was going to get these products had done so and those who could not efford them would not be getting them asuch as washing machines, dryres, refridgerators and alike. Once everyone had one of each they did not need to get more and this led to economic dicline which began the Great Depression.
The economy crashed, people lost their money in investments and millions became homeless. With this immense decline in sustainability Nazism was born to its fullest. Adalf Hitler convinced the German people that the Jews and Gypsies were responcible for the Great Depression and easily began a dictatorship unfriendly towards these minorities and this led to World War 2.

Religion didn’t affect the 1920s social dance scene very much. During the 1920s people had a sense of freedom, and were not bound by what their religion guided. As it was evident with the flappers, they were going against the regular standards and changing the rules. Religion was not a huge factor in the behavior and style of dancing that was being displayed in the social aspects of dance during the 1920s.
Therefore, the 1920s was a time period of change and of freedom. The men and women that participated in this revolution of dance went along their own guidelines and rules. Appearances were changed and new forms of dance were becoming popular. Dance in general was an important part of people’s lives. Dance was respected and was understood as an activity that people enjoyed participating in on weekends. Not only did social dance see turns, but the theatrical world of ballet was also evolving. The 1920s provided a solid ground for years to come. This time period revolutionized dance and allowed individuals to participate in this form of expression more so than we see even today.
