Note how impoverished, economically backward, and less educationally open the most religious countries tend to be?

Cause or effect?

@jerry99 Probably a bit of both. A vicous circle?

The most religious above, stone, imprison and give death penalties to people with sexual preference. So no LGBT rights either.

The countries who are least religious are also generally more prosperous countries. They don't allow religion (and corruption) to keep them back.
