Yep. So where's the connection?

I note that you're the one who implied a causal relationship between atheism and economic decline.

Interesting that you don't note that the OP implied a causal relationship between Christianity and economic decline without so much as a correlation.

Did he? Did you read the same OP that I did? Because in the OP I read, the OP asked a question as to the relationship between the two. I'll note that a question is different from an assertion in meaningful ways.

Shift the burden of proof much?

Oh...my...goodness. Did you even read the OP?

Yep, I did. Did you? The OP did not make an assertion. You did (which I see that you've rightfully retracted).
