Spirituality in the modern world

Tonight I would like to talk to you about an aspect of Christian scripture that I - personally - deem to be an important facet to the face of the UK today. Ever since the industrial revolution of the Victorian era, industrialization has been exponential within the UK - despite the efforts of the Luddites. Now I'm not advocating that this hasn't been beneficial to us as a society, but spiritually it has been detrimental; the Victorian era gave way to a new way of thinking among most of the British people, one that conditioned them to be parts within a holistic machine. The aforementioned, however, is not surprising when you consider the parable of the Rich Man & Lazarus from the New Testament,
"Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day. A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was laid at his gate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores. It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried. In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom." (refer to Luke 16 verses 19 to 22)
This parable really is starting to show its true colours within the more economically developed nations such as that of the UK, the USA and many mainland European countries. It wasn't that long ago, I'd say 20 to 30 years, when the Ten Commandments could be located in most of the classrooms within the UK and the USA. Now you'll fail to find a mention of the Ten Commandments at all in a school, unless you look to the RMPS wall (whereby it will perhaps accompany several quotes from great thinkers such as Confucius, Plato and Socrates). Teachers are now teaching students that they've evolved from primates (goo that went to the zoo and then to you) despite the fact that evolution, unlike natural selection, has never been proven to be hard and actual science - it should stay within the Philosophy book, along with Aquinas' first mover argument and the Cartesian dualism of the mind and matter.
Furthermore to the point, Adolf Hitler was right when he believed in his quote "let me control the textbooks and I'll control the state" - it is now considered absurd to talk about God or mention your faith within the workplace, but it is acceptable - among most - to mention the latest celebrities' "baby bumps" or whatever. To me this shows that people are reluctant to becoming accountable to their creator for doing so would mean that they would probably have to give up on indulging their sinful desires, hence why it's perhaps easier to assume that we're probably articulate monkeys with no absolute moral direction or purpose within an infinite universe. 
However people, on a large scale, who are not as orientated by the material as others tend to be more inclined to be obligated to follow the absolute moral law as implemented by God, with the standard of righteousness. This is becoming evident within the economically-less developed countries such as Nigeria and Uganda whereby the potential capacities of the churches falls short of the Christian population! The upshot, however, is that this is affirmative to the parable of the Rich Man & Lazarus. Man is fallen and within finitude God is not the route of evil, and God - like the loving being He is - has backed away from our classrooms and as a result we should expect spiritual depletion to arise.
