Things are better now?
This is a pretty disingenuous argument... I'm pretty sure you realize that even if the incredible vague category of "things" can be proved to be demonstrably/objectively worse than they were before the 60s & 70s cases on school prayer, there's no provable correlation between the two.
While the bible/Christianity have indeed produced a whole range of "good works," it's also produced the vast majority of the bloodshed in the Western world, and been used to justify all kinds of horrible human suffering.

I'm pretty sure this isn't really true, except in a very broad sense. And anyway, much of western civilization is based on the bible—which is, for the most part, an unfortunate roadblock that it's taking centuries to get over.
