I think you are making sweeping generalizations... not like I'm against that. However, if you think that a couple of blowhards are going to dictate the progress of our individual nations my advice would change my way of thinking. Those who tend to know the least about something seem to be the same people who talk the most about it.

70% of Americans believe most likely because the majority of Americans are 50+ and need to believe in God because they are all about to die! Or, they have matured enough to realize The Truth. I think if you took a similar poll on the college campuses you will find a more liberal mind set, and thus less religious people. If, for some reason, you think progress only comes from atheists (which is a wrong opinion) than I wouldn't worry about it, since a lot of the US youth are ignorant like that.

Anyway, I am certain nations will get left behind. The US will be playing catch up on the stem cell issue, for example. However, these are minor hiccups that will not slow progress only refocus who reaps the benefits, and I have no problem with that. Perhaps it will wake up some people.
