The dead inWWI and II were more technology increases than morality decreases I think.
Incline in greed/lust is decline in morals. And only those who preach more and more wealth (irrespective of any moral principles) are same who don’t believe in afterlife, because for them this is their only life and there will be nothing for the next, hence decline in morals.
Here you answer yourself:
> But personally I think the connection is greed. With no moral compass, wealth becomes the only objective measure of success for the average person. The corporations who fund these things need a greedy customer base, not one that uses only what it needs. Science, as it was in the days when it earned it’s reputation for disinterested seeking of truth, is a bit scarce nowdays it seems.

Just a little correction don’t restrict yourself to to ww1 and ww2 but as well to wars launched by imperialist, and onwards till now.

The Earths number of war dead rose every century from the dawn of recorded history until 1945, then fell to a fairly consistent 1-2 million a year (I think that’s what I read and I don’t feel like looking it up).
But there is no such precedent to these last 100-200 years.

Yes, that’s jaded. But any who question the approved theory in a serious scientific environment are shouted down. The claim is that no real scientist would still believe anything but evolution, the reality seems more like no real scientist would dare view any new discovery through any other lens.
The same tone I experienced in Orwell’s, 1984, that the minds of members of the party were washed to the extent that most of them were not conscious regarding past declarations (principles), and to compare health of past declarations with polar opposite new alterations (altered principles). And those who were aware were silent because of fear of consequences.
Might be fear for them (the members of scientific society) is that they will be labeled as ignorant/creationists (if they raise objection to alterations and modifications). Hence, doors for them will be closed forever.
