Religion is keeping us afloat, otherwise we'd sink.
Wow. Yet another bad hypothesis. Let's look at facts again, shall we? No need for opinion when you have facts, right?

What's keeping other strong economies afloat (Japan, Netherlands, Germany, China, etc.) despite them having a high proportion of non-religious people? Japan's economy is Number 2 and they lead the list of heathen nations. China and Germany are the next largest economies. Heathens, too. Wow. Further, Central America is highly religious. Just like America. Yet, oddly, they have mostly weak economies. Italy has weak economy for Europe and they are very religious. Doesn't look like that theory holds up, either.

Do you suppose that economic strength is driven by some other factors? Like, I don't know, free markets, natural resources, orderly markets, you know, stuff like that?
