 We know since the Second World War, religiosity has plummeted in most of the northern European countries. And yet, these are some of the best places on earth to live. It's not that they became more secular. That was the magic. In a way, it doesn't really matter if the people are religious or not. I would even just take religiosity out of the equation. Doesn't matter. The religiosity level is not the only variable that contributes to Europe's growth and explosion of social desirable effects. Why would we even bring that up if we're acknowledging this is merely a correlation and there's no actual causal factors there? We're getting to the point in the history of civilization where it's just not needed anymore.
