Fewer Absolute Truth Believers: Some 20 months prior to the 9/11 attacks, people were asked if they believed that “there are moral truths that are absolute, meaning that those moral truths or principles do not change according to the circumstances” or that “moral truth always depends upon the situation, meaning that a person’s moral and ethical decisions depend upon the circumstances.” At the start of ‘00, 38% of adults said there are absolute moral truths that do not change according to the circumstances—8 weeks following 9/11 the result was just 22%.
