Everyone is created by God and for God. “I am not my own,” says the Heidelberg Catechism. “We belong to the Lord,” says the Bible (Ro 14:8). As our Creator, God determines our identities, and rebellion against our God-given identities is rebellion against God.

Then, as our sense of obligation to community deteriorates, especially within an already-individualistic society, and secular philosophies and worldviews  creep into popular culture, we have everything we need for moral collapse.
