44% of adults agreed: “Different religions/philosophies having conflicting ideas about moral truth proves there are no moral absolutes.”

Dr. David Zuccolotto: “Find your truth is no longer about honesty – it’s about authority. It doesn’t just encourage self-expression; it commands you to build a worldview from the inside out, as if your private sense of self could bear the weight of defining reality.”
Brett McCracken: “the philosophy of ‘your truth’ destroys families when a dad suddenly decides ‘his truth’ is calling him to a new lover, a new family, or maybe even a new gender. It’s a philosophy that can destroy entire societies, because invariably one person’s truth will go to battle with another person’s truth, and, devoid of reason, only power decides the victor.”
