Probity:

The quality of having strong moral principles; honesty and decency.
‘financial probity’ [Oxford English Dictionaries]

Noted in “Turks losing trust in religion under AKP,” Sibel Hurtas, AL Monitor:

Mehmet Ali Buyukkara, a theologian at Istanbul’s Sehir University, said he was hardly surprised by the findings of the KONDA survey. He tweeted, “Those who are pious in terms of language, appearance and perhaps worship have failed the class in terms of morals, probity, sincerity and attentiveness to haram.” According to the scholar, public display of piety have become freer. But the change has not led to greater attraction to religion but to “alienation to a certain extent.”
