Religion has a surprisingly high correlation with poverty, according to a Gallup survey conducted in more than 100 countries. The more poverty a nation has, the higher the “religiosity†in that nation. In general, richer countries are less religious than poorer ones.
The biggest exception? The United States, which has the highest religiosity relative to its wealth on the planet.
