National pride dont let you see farter than your finger, just read a bit of world history, all the great nations of the world have had a time. but they start to fall when they forgot god.

Nice try sneaking in some religious propoganda to the thread!
Just so you know, the Roman empire fell shortly after converting to christianity. That doesn't really tie in with your theory.
Neither does the fact that in Japan, who is a relatively small country, with excellent economy, education and stability, is vast-majority atheist. Yes, only 10% of Japanese believe in a deity.
What about the Mongols? They were just as religious when they collapsed as when they were born.
Or the Ottomans, or the Egyptians, or the Assyrians, or the Greeks... You can believe what you want, but the facts speak for themselves.
By the way, wasn't Catholisism forced onto the Mexican people, just like the Spanish language? And if Mexico is such a godly place, how come there's so many murders there all the time? And why doesn't god help you with you eith your economy? There's a few holes in your theory!
The Catholic Church thanks to Columbus is responsible for the mass genocide of many millions of indigenous people in South America, Central America, and North America.

The fact of the matter is that organized religion has been the cause of many wars as well as the worst mass genocides in the history of the planet.
The Catholic Church thanks to Columbus is responsible for the mass genocide of many millions of indigenous people in South America, Central America, and North America. Of course the majority of the genocide in North America cannot be directly attributed to the Catholic Church but it was Columbus who began it and they did murder hundreds of thousands in the Caribbean and in Florida beginning in the latter 15th century.
It is not religion that saves or destroys it is selfishness and corruption. Look at all of the empires that have fallen and you will see both, just as we see in the United States today.

The problem I see is the credibility issue.
How do you believe a corrupt person is honest enough to tell us about other people who are corrupt.
