Basically you need to view it this way, The US and many christian nations migrated away from monarchies over the last 200 years. England obviously still has the royal family but they're basically a stage show now.

Most of the middle east is still under rule of kings as well as primarily muslium countries in the African continent.

In the US the rising hispanic population (mainly Catholic) is at least helping offset the rising numbers of African Americans rediscovering their "roots" and converting to Islam.

Funny thing is this whole thing stems back to the displacement of the original "tribes". Our "Old testiment" is also the fist part of the Koran.

Christians got Jesus in part II, Islam got Allah.

Some may view it differently, especially moderate Christians and Musliums but there's a slim chance that humans will let go of belief in gods anytime soon. I see them (religions) as nothing more than the earliest governments with incredible staying power.
