In today world do we see more of the Seven Heavenly Virtues or Deadly Sins?

Virtues

Truth - Truth is a comprehensive term that in all of its nuances implies honesty, accuracy, sincerity, integrity, and reality.
Love - A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection, devotion, and/or compassion toward a person.
Courage - The state or quality of mind or spirit that enables one to face danger, fear, or change with self-possession, confidence, and resolution; bravery.
Wisdom - Knowledge, and the capacity to use the best means for attaining the best ends; good judgment.
Creativity - The ability to produce through artistic or imaginative effort, characterized by originality and expressiveness.
Tolerance - The practice of recognizing and respecting the beliefs or practices of others.
Freedom - The power to act, speaks, or think without externally imposed restraints.

SINS

Greed - An excessive desire to acquire or possess more than what one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth.
Envy - A feeling of discontent and resentment aroused by and in conjunction with desire for the possessions or qualities of another.
Dishonest- Violation of truth or trust; a disposition to defraud, deceive, or betray.
Malice - A desire to harm others or to see others suffer; extreme ill will, spite, or hatred.
Oppression - Arbitrary, cruel, and unjust exercise of power or authority; subjugation by cruelty.
Intolerance - Refusal to recognize and respect differences in opinions or beliefs.
Conformity - Unquestioning adherence to a set of socially accepted thoughts, beliefs, and behavior.
 
Where did you get this list? I'm far from being a religious person, but the Seven Holy Virtues and the Seven Deadly Sins are basically a Christian concept, and the classic list of each set of seven differs from what you have here.
 
The correct seven deadly sins are:
Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride

and the correct seven holy virtues are:
Chastity, Abstinence, Temperance, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, Humility.

Incidently the sins are associated with demons
Asmodeus: Lust
Beelzebub: Gluttony
Mammon: Greed
Belphegor: Sloth
Gaap: Wrath
Leviathan: Envy
Amon: Pride
 
I can't help wondering... Since there are Seven Deadly (or Mortal) Sins and Seven Venial Sins (not as bad as the deadly ones), is there a list of seven not-so-great virtues to go with the "Holy" ones? Probably not.
