Stats are clear…more religion = more poverty, crime, etc. Why?
The queen of England said it best. I think it applies here. (And I paraphrase - I think it was a quote through William or Harry..) The veil between royals (all the pomp and fuss) and common folk is there for a reason. If the mystery disappeared so would the delicate control it holds.
Start giving out rewards. People start knowing they deserve them. Equalling the playing field isn’t what leaders do. They hold control.
Religions have always used gods for control. Their veil.

Is that how you see God, as being some kind of Cosmic Father Christmas (that's "Santa Claus" for you Yanks)?

very interesting list...
because at the bottom of the list, you will find a region in which a LOT of very extremely rich religious leaders do like to go and invest and retire with their riches, the less religious states in the USA
Connecticut - 43.00%
Maine - 34.00%
Vermont - 34.00%
Massachusetts - 33.00%
New Hampshire - 33.00%
Your worldview is Fleshy and want rewards now. A biblical worldview is Spiritual and know our Sovereign Lord is on the throne and we are set to eternal life whereas those not In Christ Jesus and rewarded are destined for Eternal death (no reward). Hope that helps.. Mr. Happy... have a good week !

Being religious doesn't equate having a relationship with God... But also the places with more problems tend to breed more religious people.. Hence why you see Christianity secretly blooming in high conflict places where they may even face persecution for it.. He does and will reward his followers maybe not of this world and maybe he will.. The ultimate rewards will be living in eternity with him..
God purposely through His divine sovereignty and wisdom causes His followers (Christians) to be poor or middle class but not very rich most often.
Having lots of riches pushes people away or they become cold regarding being devoted to God.
As long as you have your needs then you are good.
Stats aren't clear, kiddo. Religiosity doesn't mean more devoted or proper followers.
It's like saying cities should be low crime areas as they have more lawmakers and law enforcers.
Well I’m not sure I’ve got exists but if he does it’s because he rewards his followers in heaven not on earth
statistics few rich and few atheists, others must overlap. why not? see isaiah 59.
He does in other ways. You won't burn in Hell for example.
I don't believe in god or gods. That whole concept is stupid to me.
What are you talking about, his love and Heaven are the reward. You sound like a worse version of my brother
All the money is going to the church, instead of the state. Keeping the state poor
Assuming there is a God, why would he reward violent racists?
Because you don’t need money to find happiness.
GOD is real, read the Bible
God is scam...
