More and more I have just come to accept that the majority of people, at least those I am exposed to in the US, don't fundamentally believe in anything. Everyt conviction has a buyout price.

You have to understand that people only believe in things and have "morals" because it either helps them get what they want or makes them feel better about themselves. Of course such a thing has a buyout price. That's human nature. Capitalism just allows it to be on display in the worst way.
