When it comes to the changes that occur when a person places his or her faith in God, these changes do not have an impact on the entire society. The impact is seen within a smaller group of individuals in the society. Hence, the society in it entirety does not change, but individuals within that society. Rachels believes that there has to be a previous moral society against which to measure the changes “for the better.” He states that Cultural Relativism is progress where the way of doing things currently is changed to a better way of doing things. Yet again, he questions this fact, as there should be a standard against which to measure this progress (Rachels, 1971, p. 620).
