My point being, I suppose, that while there is cause for society to want to see a certain kind of ‘progress,’ and to take note when self-identifying Christians, due to ignorance or meanness, seem to oppose it out of hand, ‘progress’ itself should not be treated as an end, nor held as a guiding principle, for the very reason that it can be detached from morality, or enlisted for the effort of promoting any given system of morality.
