Pretty strong correlation between the lack of economic development and strong religious belief.  US is an exception, though I wonder to what extent "American exceptionalism" disappears if you exclude the South, which itself performs worst on just about every social indicator.

I lost any respect for Dawkins after he said Muslims shouldn't be allowed to be journalists and dismissed "mild pedophilia" as no big deal.
