I think its best to part the US properly from religion for long enough before looking back at the historical influences, you know? That way, people can chuckle knowingly at the superstitions of the past, the same way they might at leaching or people's reactions to horseless carriages.
Just remember that Britain and Rome used to be empires.
Many Americans would like to forget that Christians with Biblical principles founded this great nation. They wrote those principles into the Declaration and Constitution.
There is a storm brewing in the USA. Forgetting the hand that blessed us is the last thing we should do.
Turning your back on God is a mistake for any nation or individual.
An empire grows, gets too big, and then falls. The US is overdue for that. If there is any correlation with religious attitudes, it's hard to say if it's causal. It may just be that religion is more compatible with the western breed of the mentality of conquest and empire building (baptise the indigenous and then start the plunder), prosperous people start to forget religion, and then after their empire falls they come to their senses and any beliefs in the supernatural is more of a hobby.
