Most of secular society once adhered to what nowadays are called "holiness standards", though they just considered them "propriety" or "modesty". Not saying secular society was holy, or joined with the holiness movements of the day, but that what today people consider "strict holiness standards" were pretty much practiced by the bulk of society as a matter of common behaviour.
