Though I would counter that America, the dominating force, has no completely gotten over it's religiosity, because Politics there is still dominated by Christianity and an Atheist would very likely not get elected as President.
The Moral code that has been agreed upon in the modern world has very little to do with Religion, we all agree that slavery should be abolished, all accept the emancipation of women, and all agree that human rights regarding colour and gender and sexual preference is wrong, and all of those stances arose from thought-out discussion of right and wrong, not from religious scripture.
