I can't agree with you on this. The US beat the pants off the Soviet Union is scientific achievement during the cold war years. Practically all the greatest scientific achievements of the last few centuries came from christian US and western European countries. The most developed countries in the world were predomintly christian nations. Only recently have they turned away from christianity and now they are experiencing huge economic problems and losing their competitive edge to other nations like China, India and Korea who have growing christian populations.

Are you seriously intimating that the reason the US made more advances in science and technology during the Cold War was because of its Christianity? That is the mother of all non sequiturs if you ask me.

Take religion out of the equation ,and the chances that humans(the main tool for war) will co-operate with those greedy leaders are very low .

Wars are primarily fought over economic issues. One group of bigwigs want what the other group of bigwigs has so they get the dummies to go fight and get it for them. The people who do the dying don't get squat.

22th century? Hell, I'd be happy if most the world could fucking spell properly let alone be atheists.

All Christian nations are not equal. Catholic countries lag far behind Protestant countries.

If religion were completely wiped out something would come in to replace it.

This has to be the stupidest argument I have ever heard. Have you ever considered that maybe it had something to do with the Soviet planned economy? That maybe China & Korea are growing because of economic liberalization? Maybe the US is falling apart because of the Western Empire is falling? Also I would very much so like a source for the idea of growing Christian populations.

Second of all, their are so many other factors to consider. It could just as easily be argued that this is do to increased race mixing or some other ridiculous hypothesis.

Even if a correlation could be made, correlation does not imply causation.
