Possibly thousands of fine books have testified over the years to the relationship between prosperity and the kind of freedom that follows unfettered Christianity. It's pointless to attempt refuting such a large concensus, as it is also a matter of history. Also a matter of history is the loss of power, prosperity, and honor when a nation forsakes God while claiming in word only they remain friendly toward the Gospel while adopting clearly unbiblical politics. Many once powerful, wealthy nations of Europe lost their grandeur upon departing from biblical Christianity. Their grand church monuments to 'the world that was' cannot help them, their temples empty.

Hmmmm that is why all of Scandinavia, Germany, the Netherlands, France etc etc have a higher standard of living than US residents? You really need to actually see some of the world as it is rather than how you think it is. The highest proportion of christian fundamentalists live in the poorest parts of the US...seems like your brand of christianity breeds ignorance, hatred, and poverty...what an achievement.
