Interesting chart of the religiousness of the United States (measured by Gallup), showing that religiousness correlates with social uneasiness (measured by percentage of population impoverished, murder rate, occurrences of theft, divorce rate, and health and contentment ranking).
Interestingly, that may contradict other Gallup data showing a relationship between religiousness and suicide rates of countries. The more religion, the less suicides; that would seem to also be a measure of social uneasiness. What we need here to be sure is the suicide rates of the United States to make an apple to apple comparison.
- But if the data of the chart hold scrutiny, would the explanation be that social uneasiness increases the need for trust systems, and henceforth religion, as per Computer Theology (p. 2)?
Would then that be an explanation for the difference found more generally between countries, as illustrated by Gallup?
