Like seriously? Now you think I'm acting silly? undecided

Just because he brings out evidences to accept the hypothesis of your topic doesn't mean I shouldn't test them.
Even if I'm daft, you could have just left it without quoting me if you wouldn't give me the answers. What's bad in finding out if those religion mentioned can be found to be prevalent in countries that are not poverty stricken huh

The fact that a foreigner carry out a survey doesn't mean I should swallow the results hook, line and sinker. Your OP is an interesting one and I'm trying to reason around it in my own little way.



You say sheer poverty? In churches? What's your definition of sheer poverty? And what's your research results gotten from all the churches in Nigeria? Do you know most Christians are educated? And what's the correlation between education and sheer poverty?

When religion is trying to help those who are poor already is different from they are poor because they're religious or they were once rich but became poor after adopting religion.

Well,
I can now conclude that a valid research will be the one carried out after all those poverty stricken countries are less religious or irreligious. I know that time is near but that's when we will see if all this research conclusions are really reliable.

JackBizzle, I've left you oooo. I mean no harm I was just just trying to reduce the biasness. I'm not really the type who argue on the religion section and I don't really want to be known for such so take care.
Guy, it won't harm you to do some research yourself.

You were answered twice and were even given links to further research but you feel the need to be questioning facts

The U.S.A is the richest country in the world. Argue with the stars.

Ignorance is bad enough but when combined with arrogance, it's bad news for that person and the people who will have the misfortune of conversing with him... US is not one of the five richest countries in the world. And even when we measure by standard of living, US is still not the best.
And BTW, the richest, most educated states and the ones with the lowest crime rates in the US are the most irreligious while the Opposite is the case for the religious ones

I don't entertain senile people and neither do I make any claim I'm not sure of. The truth is just a google search away.. Educate yourself and exit my mentions.

Can you even compare California an extremely secular state to the entire bible belt

You people just spew facts from your butthole. When have England ever enslaved other people in the name of God? Where in the bible did Jesus Christ endorse slavery?
JackBizzle:
You mean in the past where Britain was more religious and colonizing/enslaving the whole world in the name of Queen and God?

Or in the past when the USA was importing and exporting thousands of black slaves? Or when they were forcing christianity on native tribes?
Re: Can Any Religious Person Explain Why Religion And Poverty/illiteracy Go Together by Amberon: 12:39pm On Feb 10, 2017
This is very contradictory. Also if there are more poor atheists than christians why isnt this thread about the correlation between atheism and poverty.

Yall just shoot yourselves in the foot daily.
randomperson:
Not all atheists are rich... In fact, there are probably more rich Christians than rich atheists but a sample of poor people will show a deeply religious demography

He said that there are more rich christians than Atheists. That does not automatically mean that there are more poor atheists than christians.

Calm down and think

But some of the richest people in the world are/were also religious, not everything is black and white. Many factors and policies contribute to the likelihood of wealth or poverty of a Nation, or a set of people, and religon has little or nothing to do with it. The likes of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE comes to mind. We know oil played a major role in all of those cases, it would be myopic then to say they are rich due to religion. If the reverse was the case, it would also be myopic to attribute their poverty to religion.

That's because the religious fanatics lacks the principles of how things work.

No, there are a lot more poor Christians than atheists. The difference is not even close

We're trying to establish a pattern here. That's why we're not just relying on a single country... Take a look at the most religious countries viz a viz the poor ones... Is there a correlation? The obvious answer is yes...

Religion thrives on poverty and ignorance. These are the sets of people who are too broke or stupid to question faith.
