I have a question, TT. How old are you? Were you alive in the 1950s/60s? If not, what are you basing your opinion that the UK in the 50s was 'more moral' than today? A lot of media (such as the Daily Mail) like to paint this rose-tinted picture of the past when looking at current problems, trying to convince us it wouldn't have happened back in the good old days so they can push their agenda of the moral decline of society. Of course the reality is completely different. Bear in mind that we have far greater access to information now, so it's much easier to see examples of it happening.
You also can't have it both ways. Your original post said that you felt the loss of religion has resulted in a loss of morality or something. It's been pointed out to you that very religious countries tend to be much more violent and have higher crime rates.
In short, your entire point is demonstrably false and is very selective in choosing to ignore all the bad things that have happened in your apparently more moral times. The civil rights movement happened after the time you're talking about. If that's not a positive moral step, what is?
