Here's some

Virtually all of the major innovations which led to modern industrialization can trace their origins back to the English dissenters. James Watt, the man credited with inventing the steam engine, was a Dissenter. Dissenters believed that technology and profit were subordinate only to faith in God and Jesus and pursued advancement with a religious zeal. People love to concentrate on how Christianity held back civilization (and it did), but they don't want to hear how religion helped advance it, especially in more modern times.

You can't take away religion and assume we'd be a more advanced society. It's far more complex than that.
