You seem to be implying that economic development is caused by irreligion, and not the other way around, if at all.

Yes, economic development promotes consumerism and a more hedonistic way of life, which leads to decline in religiosity.

The United States is the wealthiest of the Western industrialized countries.

No. The US has the 7th highest per capita GDP. Luxembourg is no. 2 and Norway no. 5. If Singapore and Hongkong count as Western (and in many ways they are), they are also ahead of you.
