Great Change of Morality and Views

The Great Change of Morality and Views is a time period of the United States of JBR where it foresaw a major religious change from Christianity. Christianity would not return to its prominence until the more recent Christian Revival Era.

Buddhist Period

The Buddhist Period is the first phase of the Great Change of Morality and Views era. The original and traditional religion in the area was Christianity but the growing number of Eastern movement helped boost the number of adherents of Buddhist faith than the traditional Ambrahamic faiths. Several foreign exchange students who were studying theology came and lived in the Orange Republic and from there, they started to spread the ideas of Buddhism and used Buddhist apologetics as a way of defense. The Orange Republic first which already had a large population of Buddhists. These ideas were later spread to the Angeles state—especially the city of Hollywood. After several celebrities decided to join the faith, fans of various sorts decided to jump on the bandwagon and practice the religion. Buddhism called for spiritual enlightenment although many prominent monks were concerned that many of its adherents joined because it was more of a "fad". To help combat this, several monks organized the creation of commentaries designated to JBRicans to practice religion with truth and actual care. During the very same period, the unofficial Pastafarian Church of JBR (it would later be officially established in the beginning of 2011) was growing fast and the rivaling Zitacruso Church as well. Buddhism did not have a centralized belief in a deity and it started to confuse many citizens who no longer saw the religion as a "fad". A guru by the name Ralph Gajj from the religion of Hinduism decided to take advantage of the discouraged citizens by publicizing the works and beliefs of Hinduism. Hinduism was strikingly similar to Buddhism in ways but also featured deities and this led the large conversion of Buddhists to Hindus.

Great Guru Propaganda

The Great Guru Propaganda is the second phase of the Great Change of Morality and Views era. Gajj successfully gathered thousands of converts and became the national spiritual leaders to these converts. He also founded the First Hindu Community Temple which worked as a religious university in the Orange Republic in place of a Buddhist temple built prior to the time period. He worked hard to meet his followers' needs but adhered to the belief of separation of church and state. After the conversion of thousands of Buddhists to Hindus, several extremists (who were against Gajj's position on the separation of church and state) decided to make a theocracy by first overthrowing the current promcapablic government. This idea started to build up and several videos online encouraged Hindus alike to destroy the current government. The JBRican government eventually shut down these videos but these videos leaked elsewhere on the Internet. Soon, the extremists gained enough support and recruited many supporters in underground markets. Although the Gajj attempted to prevent this from happening, several extremists rallied zealous practitioners to come and raid into JBR City. The attacking mob was immediately stopped by JBRican Police although some were Hindus themselves. The extremists opened fire and killed several police officers in action before taken into custody and sentenced 20 years of imprisonment each. The protesters were also rounded up and about 10% of them were detained in rehabilitation centers. Gajj attempted to reconcile the general Hindu population and sent an apology to the government that the extremists nearly overthrew the government. Gajj later left the country to move elsewhere while the abandoned Hindus continued practicing Hinduism. The Hindu population began to diminish onto the wake of the Dawkins N' Marx Period.
