Hey, did you guys know that since the Renaissance human intelligence on the whole as increased steadily? In fact in Western societies, each generation has had a higher average IQ, standard of living, nutrition, medical care, education and job opportunities than the one before it! I bet your grandmother or great grandmother would agree underneath all of her complaining if you really asked her about it. Start by asking how many illiterate people she knew growing up and then compare it to how many you knew.

You're an idiot. That isn't the point.
If you'd have ever taken a sociology class you would know it's called social lag. They didn't have the internet in the Renaissance, or when my grandmother grew up. The closest they had was a library.
Us? Unlimited knowledge in virtually any and every subject and topic that humanity has ever conceived a thought about. And it's at the tip of our fingers...even in a device that we can carry in our pockets with us anywhere.
There has never in the history of mankind been an invention as impacting to us as a species as the internet. Our times don't compare to any in history.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. The word degenerate has too many memetic connotations now that I would have to make an assumption about you.

Once 99% of people become secular atheists who believe in science, logic, and reason, almost all wars would stop, trillions of dollars would be freed up for welfare and science, and we could start colonizing the galaxy. This is why once atheism becomes accepted as fact, and theism is treated as the mental illness that it is, there should be a three-step program to secure the scientific advancement of the human race.
1. Rehabilitation: Teach religious people how their god is not real. I think this would be successful for at least 90% of cases.
2. Sterilization: If people don't renounce their religion they should be sterilized. In this way, they die alone and will not be able to spread their stupidity to children and out breed atheists. This would prevent an idiocracy situation from occurring.
3. Imprisonment: If there are still people preaching their religion after this, they should be thrown in either an asylum or in a prison. They can make license plates for cars after that along with picking up from trash by the road.
Only in the worst case scenarios though should a 4th step be implemented; execution. Only after all religious people worldwide are rehabilitated or removed from society, a near utopian society episode would be possible.
Proof of this method working though can be found within any decent history textbook about the USSR. Despite being a "dirty communist" country the USSR transformed from an agrarian society to the first nation in space in a few decades by eradicating theism. The PRC also implemented similar policies during the 60’s and 70’s which led to the confiscation of religious property and opened the way to the economic successes of today. Likewise, Russia's economic failures during the 90’s can be linked to a rise of religion.
