America makes huge contributions to human knowledge and progress. Members of moderately religious (non-fanatical) subcultures contribute to that progress.

Religion has a long history of getting in the way of progress. A current example would be how the U.S. is getting left behind in stem cell research due to Bush's religious objections.
