I don't think there's any such thing as "secular moral values". They all originate in religious philosophy. Or maybe someone can tell me the difference between religious moral values and secular moral values (secular ones happen to be adopted by people who don't believe in God is not a good enough answer).
I do think the values of some religions are more sensible than the values of others.
The malaise in the West is loss of confidence in *moral* values, not "secular" moral values, whatever they are (who invented them? where are they written down? how we do know they're *essentially* different than religious ones?)
