Yep, the west is civil because of secular law, if you took that away it would not take Christianity that long to regress back into it's prior barbarity. And we still see the effects of religion in our right wing and homophobia.
The west became civil in spite of religion, not because of it.
I'm surprised this isn't obvious to more people. It should be when you consider the Spanish Inquisition and the Crusades and then look our modern nut jobs like Pat Robertson.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
