Philosophical Influences on Morality

Charles Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection in 1859 challenged traditional Christian theology and morality. Several influential thinkers applied Darwin's ideas in ways that rejected religion and traditional values, including Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Haeckel, Nietzsche, Freud, Hitler, and Mao. These applications of evolutionary ideology led to the rise of atheism, communism, and moral relativism in the 19th and 20th centuries.
