Dear Christian,
I understand that you think your religion the shizzle*, but please watch this video and understand what it says.

You will note that the author of that video is using a different topic (childhood violence instead of status as a superpower and violent television instead of religious faith) but your arguement is false for the same reason as the arguement in the video is false for the reason that the author highlights.
In short, your correlation between the majority religions of the listed nations and their status as a world power have no proven relationship with one another.
Sincerely Yours,

If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
