As far as being the most powerful country in the world... Maybe from a military stand point, but from an economic standpoint, even places like china are whiping the floor with us
I agree with you that China will soon surpass us, but here's the current data:
United States GDP: 14.660 trillion USD

Nations don't need religious identities.
You bet they do. Religion forms the foundation of human intelligence. You cannot invent a proof without first taking some unprovable "truths" for granted. Your religion, the base of all your understanding, is atheism. And you cannot prove that God does not exist, no more than I can prove that He does.
