Is it possible that religion is more popular in the most (e.g., the USA) and least capitalist (e.g., Afghanistan) areas than the areas that fall inbetween (e.g., the EU, Japan, China, etc.)?
The U.S. is an outlier on this one, and it’s unsound to base models
on outliers. You can call it the “most” capitalist country, but the
other “advanced” countries are pretty capitalist too, and they’re
very little like the U.S. god-wise. And the U.S. has religion-
besotted from the outset, when it was less capitalist than England.
