What are the countries with lower rates of theism and/or "robust levels of skepticism" that are so much better? You speak in such general terms, it's difficult to develop an argument. Lumping all "theists" together makes it conventient for you to make a statement like this.

In virtually every category (from adult literacy, per-capita income, life expectancy, matriculation, infant mortality, poverty, homicide, gender equality, spread of infectious disease, etc.), nations with robust levels of skepticism are cleaner, better-educated, more humane, safer, and healthier than countries with higher rates of theism.

The top five countries with new citizenships are: #1 United States; #2 Canada; #3 Germany; #4 France; #5 United Kingdom. You would think with all that the "nations with robust levels of skepticism" have to offer, more people would want to become citizens of those countries. Source: NationMaster.com
