> Church membership declined from 75% → 50%
Good, churches are places of fake morality. If your institution sexually abuses minors for decades and you are still a member, it is not those leaving who are morally wrong..
> Premarital sex rate went from from 20% → 75%
Which is bad, because the place of fake morality said it is bad. I am with one girl for 20 years now and will never marry her. I don't see why any institution should have any bussiness in what I do here. I know why they do it tho: Control someone's deepest desires and you own them fully. This is why religions often try to regulate sex: power.
> Trust in government went from 75% → 20%
Might have to do with the fact that more people are literate, that the government has done not much for the small person since that time and we now have Internet. I don't see how "trusting the government" is morally good under any definition of the word.
> Prime-age-male-labor-force nonparticipation rate quadrupled from 3% → 12%
Can have a ton of reasons, e.g. that a typical today job will not sustain even the most modest of lifestyles, while decades ago you could feed a family from it. But we trust the government so this will all be fixed, right?
> Marijuana use went from 4% → 49%
Why is it morally wrong to smoke weed? What would you bring up next? The precentage of exposed ankles? It is morally wrong to smoke marijuana and drive a car, it is morally wrong to smoke marijuana in front of a kid. But just smoking it for your own pleasure is neutral (and I am a non-smoking person).
