Yes, but they're also brought up in a post-truth society that values might and selfishness over everything else (with virtue even being repudiated as weakness in the more extreme societies), and nothing in the ideological toolbox of American/Anglo-Saxon/Western European society can actually help them. Also, they don't care about it because they don't think they'll ever have to explain themselves to God on the Day of Judgement, so they have even less motivation to find out if whatever they're doing is morally right or wrong (they don't even care about morals in earnest, just about optics and signals). I guess you could argue they could go back to basic and find guidance in Socratic, Platonic and Aristotelian wisdom, for instance, but that will just be an incomprehensible word salad to the average unthinking person, sadly.
