I don't think you can look at a handful of years and state that anything is "very clear" as a result. The western mainstream right-wing parties still regularly and loudly claim to represent family values, etc. If we're talking about noise from the internet than I agree with your point, but I think they are different things.

"Secular morality" is not a thing. There are various moral theories, and pretty much only divine command is non-secular.
Okay, I'm pretty sure you're not suggesting that atheists can't be moral or have a moral code. I'm also pretty sure you're not suggesting that there isn't a morality woven into the tapestry of western culture that has nothing to do, explicitly, with religion. But I'm not sure what you are trying to say here.

What you define as "social equality and justice" isn't really a moral theory at all, but rather a set of political and societal goals.
Isn't that splitting hairs, aka "the Corsi" ?
