I call it moral rot specifically because I don't think it's a problem you can solve purely through biblical teaching or faith doctrine alone - you need to confront the mindset and the behavior, because ultimately a person's relationship with the god of their choice is a personal thing and not something we can exert control over. No matter how robust your biblical teaching is a person can still decide "it's between me and God, though" and choose to live in a morally flawed way because the bible gives them enough latitude to interpret it in a supportive way, as many people do. And in this context I think confronting the mindset is a valuable thing to do even if you are speaking with an atheist. Essentially, questions like: * If everyone adopted your mindset, what kind of world would we live in? * Do you think your friends and family would be proud of you if they knew you were acting this way? * Would you feel good if you knew all your friends and family were acting like you? * Are you acting in a way you might regret later in life?
