It’s not a coincidence. Iran was less religious in the early 70’s, too.

There’s a reason so much media about the 60’s/70’s portrays hippies and that era of counterculture in general as lazy bums getting high instead of people tired of bullshit. It’s because it was fucking working, and the powers that be didn’t like that one bit and so put the full force of the propaganda machine behind making it into a mockery.
Agreed, and Nixon making cannabis illegal was part of that, and probably a pretty crucial move, that gave the police enormous power to disrupt everything the “hippies” or protestors stood for.
Unfortunately I think it’s still working, the search for a more humane society based on humane values kind of ended with the 70’s.
