Interesting. Both me and my sister converted to Christianity in our youth; specifically born-again evangelical style Christianity. I left the faith in University, but my sister is still a true believer, as are two of her kids (the youngest is becoming more liberal).

This is actually not that common for Indian families, as our parents really didn't push a strong sense of culture at home due to various other conflicts (mom became chronically ill with MS).

People scoff at early Christian missionaries in America, and how they tried to bring "the love of God" to various native American groups and blacks (both as they were slaves and post emancipation). It is most certainly seen by progressives today as the removal of culture, but it also did lead to some degree of unification in general English common law based morality, right?

It seems like there must always be a balance. Your ideas over what is morally acceptable go to far and your society evaporates. If it doesn't push the bounds like a child exploring, it can easily constrain and self-censor to the point where you end up with the CCP or North Korea.
