Is this a serious question. Religion is only there to give hope to the hopeless. As countries gets wealthier, less hopeless people exists in that country, in turn less need for the religions. Who can say that I did not move a finger and god sent me all this wealth ? I mean other than the church charlatans. People wake up to the truth of "if I work more I get out of this poverty quicker" very simple premise if you think about it.
