Obviously the Pope should declare a combined Crusade/Inquisition to wipe out the heresy.

My assumption is merely that the level of mass-religion is somewhat anti-proportional to the economic development of a country with a time delay as decadence and consumerism tend to let people forget their religious obligations. Of course exceptions prove the rule, as usual. Christians were religious for decades after the industrial revolution and most of our Muslims have only been here for a few decades at most. The rich leaders of countries have long been said to merely use religion as a tool, why would that be if their status and possibilities had not turned them into at least less strict believers? A true believer would not want to use his religion as a tool for manipulation, no?
