   --   
   While most Americans believe that getting rid of religion is an impossible   
   goal, much of the developed world has already accomplished it. Any account of   
   a ”god gene“ that causes the majority of Americans to helplessly organize   
   their lives around    
   ancient works of religious fiction must explain why so many inhabitants of   
   other First World societies apparently lack such a gene. The level of atheism   
   throughout the rest of the developed world refutes any argument that religion   
   is somehow a moral    
   necessity. Countries like Norway, Iceland, Australia, Canada, Sweden,   
   Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, the Netherlands, Denmark and the United Kingdom   
   are among the least religious societies on Earth. According to the United   
   Nations’ Human Development    
   Report (2005) they are also the healthiest, as indicated by measures of life   
   expectancy, adult literacy, per capita income, educational attainment, gender   
   equality, homicide rate and infant mortality. Conversely, the 50 nations now   
   ranked lowest in   
   terms of human development are unwaveringly religious.
