I'd recommend reading at least the 3rd section/article at this link, but I'll include a portion of the article as a teaser and then I'm commenting at the end.

"New research coming from the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University indicates a dramatic transformation in the morality of the youngest generation of Americans compared to previous generations. Christian researcher Dr. George Barna identifies this as part of the influence of an increasingly secular Millennial and Gen X worldview—and those generations are teaching and parenting our youngest generations.
Data from the recent American Worldview Inventory 2024 indicates that younger generations have shifted their morality in discouraging ways:
-- A majority of adults accept lying, abortion, consensual intercourse between unmarried adults, gay marriage, and the rejection of absolute moral truth as morally acceptable.
-- Less than half of all adults embrace the Bible as their primary guide to morality.
-- A minority believes that every moral choice either honors or dishonors God.
-- A large minority of adults accept the notion that as long as you do no harm, you may do whatever you wish.
That’s not all. Other stats are just as alarming:
-- Nearly 7 out of 10 Millennials (age 22-40) and members of Gen Z (age 21 and younger) consider having an abortion to be acceptable behavior.
-- 69 percent of Millennials and 73 percent of Gen Zs consider sex between consenting, unmarried adults to be morally acceptable.
-- Only half of older adults say lying “to protect your personal best interests” is morally acceptable, but 6 out of 10 Gen Zs are just fine with lying."
MY TAKE:
How is a society supposed to function when the majority don't believe in objective truth but do believe lying for personal gain is acceptable? Nobody can contract with another or work together when you can't trust the other person to tell the truth.
