Sorry, that's not news nor does it negate religious belief.

You haven't even the slightest clue of the many histories one could talk about, the average Christian today could barely discuss coherently the main schisms between the quakers & puritans, shallow as the were looking back. You wish a clear case of moral relativism, how nature is always in operation, look to Germany's economy in free fall in 1930 & what transpires after. Religion seemed to fly out the window (as we saw many times before) being the construct it is. All human life, cultures & civilizations are based on necessity of economies of energy, survivability on maintaining surplus production & trade.

The geometry of the necessities of this life, are not that complex, there is an inherent good in what all reasonable men can agree, religion by itself seems helpless to acccomplish, it is not sufficiently self~checking or self refuting, hence we have democracy & separation of church & state.

As matter of fact looking back, there are some parallels one could see in the reaction of the panicked German middle class towards radical conservatism in 1930s & what we've seen here in America's since the crash, vere striking. Nature, human nature.
