Beneath so many of our high morals there are some awful thorns and character faults whether individual or as a society.

I think an awful lot comes down to this. Neglecting or denying our own responsibilities makes us believe in 'Aliens', 'Gods', or just about anything that will 'help us', when we can only help ourselves...
It is much harder work, to look within and find fault with your own cultural upbringing, and then try to do something about it, than to blame and destroy, externally. The highest authority is Nature, and this is the one we respect the least. (This includes our own internal Natures, hence Mike's very relevant quote, above)
