No Religion = More Money?

Except in the U.S., apparently. So, here are some really loaded statistics showing the relationships between abundancy of religion and amount of wealth per capita in various countries around the world (note: pretty graphs involved!!).

Thankfully, the article does not make a strong attmept to analyze these stats too deeply, because drawing a direct correlary between the two overlooks waaaay too many other factors. Effectively, then, the stats do their job and raise provocative thoughts regarding the connections between religion, economics, and politics. Enjoy!
