I won't bash any religion over another out of spite. If you had switched the Christian macro-culture in the United States of America with the Muslim macro-culture in many Middle Eastern countries, you would likely have found that Islamic beliefs and practices would have become more modernized while many Christian extremist groups formed overseas.
Regardless of your beliefs, it's important to be able to demonstrate critical thinking proficiency while treating others with a level of respect and empathy. Treat others the way they want to be treated and let your beliefs justify the consequences.
...all this assuming that rulers don't force ignorance on the unwashed masses, preventing them from utilizing reason.
