Yeah that does throw a wrench in their gears. Most of these individuals talked about universal truths believed by most if not all religions/cultures.
This would include concepts such as: honesty, humility, faith, responsibility.
The real problem is stated to be the LACK of religion/cultural values. Not the fact that they are different.
I wish I had the book I was reading with me. It said something to the effect that more and more laws are being put in place to compel individuals to obey. No police force or governing body or judicial system will ever have enough resources to control a population who is without morals. If those morals were present many more resources could be dedicated to more productive endeavors.
