I don't think the answer can be "religion," as some would have it.
No doubt you have faith that religion isn't causing a lot of the problems.
Of course, rational people would look at the evidence. William posted some evidence just minutes before your post. Religion vs. Evolution and Big Bang must not enter into your thoughts, eh, Nick? Just put your head in the sand and have faith that religion isn't causing problems there...
I see "religion v. evolution" as an irrational comparison. God created evolution, I believe, so it's not an either-or choice. Rejection of the reality of evolution, which is happening right now inside us, as our immune systems evolve defenses against the ever-evolving pathogens, is irrational, I believe.
Do you have an example of a religion-free culture to which we could compare? Otherwise, it seems to me that there's little evidence to be considered.
