Examples of materialistic in a Sentence
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:
Communism, avowedly secularistic and materialistic, has no place for God. This I could never accept,...

It is unfortunate that in our materialistic world, at most, the level of appreciation for good deed is symmetrical to it's price tag.
