It's possible man. Keep people religious and stupid so they keep buying potato chips and prefer to see Miley Cyrus naked than a scientist.
We need to buy more science pron.
In all seriousness though, the average person is lacking due to public education being sub-par, we're in a complacent society of sheep.
Conspiracy or not, the fact remains that if we removed dogma and had a more progressive free-thinking society, we would be years ahead of our current selves.

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.” - Marcus Aurelius
