You jest. Look to yourself and the USA before you start throwing stones at the civilized nations.
Take your meds and get a grip. The USA is collapsing because of its greed, violence, grossly inequitable distribution of wealth, and its racism and drug problems measurable by the highest incarceration rate in the world – by far.
All this in the most Christian country in the developed world. Clearly religion is pretty useless at encouraging a just society.
“Not even Russia, a post-Soviet country known for locking people up and throwing away the key, is in the same league as the U.S. when it comes to its incarceration rate” – and most of them are black.
“Minor drug offenses put blacks behind bars at disproportionately higher rates than whites. And the growing number of whites in prison can be partly attributed to America's massive meth problem that has arisen in the last 10 years”.

The western empire was weakened by Christianity according to historian Edward Gibbon, in his ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’ and he blames Christianity for contributing to its decline and fall.
Just as the 4th Crusade subsequently sacked and pillaged Constantinople, the heart of the mighty Christian Byzantine Empire, and so weakened its defences that it was ultimately overrun by the Ottoman Muslims – it remains Muslim to this day, thanks to the western Christians. Ain't Religion Grand?
