World War II put paid to that last position, ever since then the movement has been towards 'maybe there is a morally right after all'
I've not seen that at all. The average person here in the UK is much less religious than they used to be, and much less likely to listen to someone telling them what is morally right or wrong.
now we are getting political positions built upon the belief that 'God will tell us what is morally right'.
But that hasn't changed, and isn't at all new. It's the same majority of believers that are doing that. It's more noticable to us, because our own leaders are less obviously religious than they used to be, but I suspect that politicians in the US are actually less religious than they used to be.
