    That poor countries or areas tend to have more religious individuals is explained by the fact spirituality helps them go through their daily struggles, having to go through challenges and hard times increases one's spirituality. That die hard atheist guy would likely at least attempt a prayer if half of his family was terminally ill and in pain.

    To my knowledge, no one has ever stablished a causal connection between intelligence and theistic beliefs.

    Nobody doubts China will become an economic superpower in the next years, in fact it is yet. What about those religious countries as Somalia or Sudan??? They will be as poor as they are nowadays. Religion is incompatible with human development.

    And the most important point...religion itself claims to provide solace to the weak and poor. So its more the churches seeking out these poor and low IQ people, or having the patience to aid them, or the desire to proselatyze/convert them, then 'low intelligence = more religion"

    The most of those countries are dying in poverty, illness and corruption.

    China's GDP per capita is comparable to North African countries. Saudi Arabia and UAE can be compared only with USA and Norway.

    It's logical, because they are 1300 million . Even so, China is by far more prosperous than North Africa.

    belif is inherent to each individual it can have a political/theological orientation in its serious form as revelant as any straight political views.
    your way of thinking is really Manichean.
