You hit two big problems right on the head. As a society we are abandoning the idea that actions have consequences and stepping away from our shared narrative/moral structure. A large part of that structure you correctly point out stems from judeo-christian history and morality. There have been many bumps and failings along the way, but that structure has built a civilization that is nearly unheard of in it's prosperity and stability. Best example of this in the US obesity is more of a problem than hunger, a quick study of history shows that is very odd.
To me, it seems a couple of generations growing up in this relatively stable environment have made the assumption that this is "normal." As a result they think they can dispose of the pieces of the old system they don't like, without realizing they are throwing the baby out with the bathwater. There is much refinement and progress to be made, but not understanding the past and what got us here dooms us to regression.
