Inspired by [Is a moral society more open to the gospel than an immoral one?](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/2793/is-a-moral-society-more-open-to-the-gospel-than-an-immoral-one) There have been many debates going around regarding what constitutes moral or immoral actions; moral or immoral society; etc. This set of questions is in regards to society and how morality can be measured. --------- First and foremost, is it possible for a society to be moral or immoral? If so, what does morality mean in regards to a society? Meaning, what's the difference between a moral society and an immoral one? As a Christian, I tend to define morality based on the Bible. Can this same gauge be used for societies? How can I apply this metric to societies that are undeniably non-Christian? Ultimately: **What does morality mean in the context of a society?**
