There is a statistic not mentioned in your post that I believe is relevant to the point you are making. With the exceptions of the United States having Christian fundamentalism on the rise, and Middle Eastern countries having Jihadism on the rise, the overall religiosity is decreasing in the world. I believe as long as people's devotion to "sacred texts" continues to decline, the problems created by that devotion will also continue to decline. Most notably that fact is expressed in Western European countries, where a substantial minority now identify themselves as "non religious" and it is not surprising that is the location of most of the problems. Great Post... Upvoted... Steem on...

Quite logical in fact, but please appreciate why I am avoiding any stats or facts about religions that today still consider themselves to be = political ideologies.
I fully agree that faith and ideology/policies are not one and the same, however, try and explain that to those policy makers who base all their policies upon a faith?
There is a word for that, but I dare not use it here as it would take this topic way off track.
The fact remains that the traditional European nations are dying out, naturally, no war or big bang, famine or plague, just a birth ratio that has through the course of history proven to be irreversible.
Then the fact that Europes neighbours, people from islamic states are systematically populating Europe.
Looking at the maps below, it is actually a logical course of events when one takes into consideration that the population issues among the islamic states is and shall be an issue for as long as there is no family planning introduced into the lives of the majority and not just a few that happen to show up on TV screens as "Goebells propaganda specials".
Your point is appreciated and well understood, so please understand why that particular issue is not relevant, as what it could be a "parallel" topic.
