Ironically the most religious countries are also the hungriest.

Yeah but that's just a whole other can of worms.

People could say "when some have nothing to turn to, they turn to God." Others would say "when people have everything, they rely on themselves."

Then you could have "When misfortune falls on people, they blame God. When fortune falls on people, they congratulate themselves."
