Good and Evil are making a comeback
The 20th century saw a major shift towards a secular/materialist moral framework that was an evolution of secular liberalism & the idea that Humanity did not require any sort of Theism of any kind to manage & modulate itself
Has this worked?

No.
To fill the vacuum a politicized morality has taken its place, and Codes, Commandments, and Creeds have been abandoned in favor of the intersectional "diversity, tolerance, inclusion" and the worship of all change being progress and all technology being "Good"
