The Islamists have used Quranic morality to stop scientific advancements. As a result, the Muslim world has fallen pathetically behind the Western world. 200 million Arabs can't beat 6 million Isrealis.

In the US, the sectors of this country that are the poorest and least educated tend to be the most religious.

I'm not suggesting that people be atheists, but people do need to think of the reasons behind that. Trying to maintain a world view based on a bunch of primitive Middle Eastern nomadism (judaism, christianity, and islam come from the same middle eastern source) is just plain stupid.
