"Take away God, and our destiny doesn't look quite so manifest. The shining city on a hill becomes just another city, just another hill."

Oh Gee..and I was so looking forward to the lecture on European oppression.

Actually, I'll let sociologist Phil Zuckerman propose it. In "Society Without God: What the Least Religious Nations Can Tell Us About Contentment," he tells of a magical land where life expectancy is high and infant mortality low, where wealth is spread and genders live in equity, where happy, fish-fed citizens score high in every quality-of-life index: economic competitiveness, healthcare, environmental protection, lack of corruption, educational investment, technological literacy ... well, you get the idea.

And all the people are white.
