    Many, yes. A plurality, probably. I don’t know that it’s most, but given the widespread abandon of anything resembling ethics of any kind in modern society, I think the situation is a lot worse than anyone wants to admit. Contrary to the Christian pearl clutchers, I don’t think the moral decay has anything to do with religion, but there has been a moral decay, the call is just coming from inside the house more often than it is from outside.

        No, but it is more predominantly male. There’s still certain natural and social consequences that keep some people from going full nihilistic hedonist. The collapse of manners, mores, social boundaries, dignity, and basic values is troubling but reality still has a way of making crossing certain boundaries dangerous and expensive for some people.
