Obviously you have slept through any dissertations on the workings of economics. Economists and atheists do not spend their time questioning the existence of god. Economics is secular by nature and atheists do not subscribe to a belief in a god or gods, ergo, nothing to question.
And this "more productive period of human history" was when? I bought a calculator for $400 in the late 70s. Today I can buy a computer for less than that (in equivalent dollars, about $40-$50) and the comparative difference is astronomical.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
