The response to that point is that the "no wonder our world fell apart" from a man of faith like Adama is that society became too decadent and materialistic (just like Kobol) and not faithful to traditional religion that it made its own downfall inevitable at the hands of the Cylons. That would be perfectly consistent within the traditional Judeo-Christian concept of man as a fallen race inviting his own difficulties because of his penchant for sin.
Being that Larson is supposedly a religious man himself this theme could come straight out of the Old Testament as it is exactly the same reason the Jews tell themselves to explain the destruction of their nation at the hands of the Babylonians.
