Every society develops a value system that serves its interests and projects the image it wants to present to the world. It also defines the core values that this system seeks to achieve and sets the highest example for its members to follow. However, abandoning religion poses a unique challenge, as the religious basis from which the ethical system originates provides it with legitimacy, intellectual, and doctrinal basis. Unlike, secular values cannot face challenges and are unable to give complete alternative for traditional ethical system. The value system complements the traditional religious ethics system, but it cannot replace it in Western modern thought markets. It legitimizes many deviant actions and practices based on power abuse and violence, without considering any moral principles as long as they serve the central value of the value system.
