North America, ergo, Western Civilization, is less about 'Religion' & more about 'Peace' -- case in point, Canada & the USA -- well, for the present, at least..

Of course, that may change with the current blending taking place between 'First World' & 'Third World Overpopulated Nations'.

The 'primitive' nature of 'Third World' countries will likely prevail simply by virtue of their massive populations, plus the great leveller -- 'Digital Communications'

. . with Food & Resources as the goading primitive drivers.
