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.
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.
