You would not have made that statement in the sixteenth century because it would have been true. Religion can have both positive and negative effects on the success of a culture.

Ofcourse religious societies can evolve, but religion hinders free thought because it usually clashes with many religious thruths. As a consequence progress slows down considerably.
