Five years ago, white Evangelical Protestants were the most heavily Republican voting bloc in the country, and also the group most concerned about the private morality of public officials. Only 30 percent of them believed that “an elected official can behave ethically even if they have committed transgressions in their personal life.” A recent article in New York Magazine headlined with “Religious Right Now Judgement-Free, Thanks to Donald Trump.”

Piety fell out of use after the civil war. It peaked prior to the second great awakening. The Google dictionary tracks usage. I wrote a piece on it last year maybe i can find.
