There are many factors, and correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation -- which you should apply to your original point.
But from the study I posted we can conclude that, contrary to your common wisdom, that it is not a given that religious societies (people) are better, healthier, or more moral.

While your last paragraph is something I agree with, I think you're misunderstanding what i'm doing. My examples weren't just absence of religion, but anti religion as well(if you can't creating your own and destroying others). Hitler tried to create his own, while Stalin supported secularism. There's not only correlation here, but causation as well.. Your example could have millions of factors in there.. But I digress.
