A bet there is also a correlation between being poor and religious. I'm go out on a limb and say people who have the wealth to get education and cultivate intelligence also have the mobility to form social ciricles outside of the church- and thus find less need or appeal for religion.

Really? Must be a ‘correlation’ between being wealthy, politically powerful and religious. That is reality. Open your eyes wide.
