Saying it doesn't make it so. To not choose is a choice. To eschew a Christian society is to choose the chaos that lies in the direction of a secular society. It may not be chaotic today and Pol Pot may not self-generate, but the potential is greatly increased.
I'm trying to think of the most foul, doubtlessly Christian* world leader in the last century. Whoever gets the nod, he'll be small beer next to Stalin and Mao, or even Pol Pot.
* Hitler is unacceptable for this 'honor'. It's difficult to point to any substantial Christian philosophy guiding his action.

LOL, this is like saying it is better to accept the GUARANTEED atrocities and abuses and infringments on our freedoms that come with a government because "Hey who knows without government really bad stuff could happen!" Yes, of course really bad stuff could happen but that is no reason to accept the GUARANTEE of really bad stuff happening, right?
IOW, Argument from the Status Quo = fallacious.
