Wait what?? You do realize material well being here could also mean like… a house or apartment. Open ended responses means people wrote in various answers, and the analysts converted them to categories. So i highly doubt anyone wrote “Car” over family, but… they may value being able to move from home and provide for themselves materially as e most important thing in their lives rn.

No offense but, having a home sounds a lot more important to me than believing in someones god or goddesses. I do think Hinduism could be very enlightening and fulfilling… but like, would you practice it on the street?

It is high in muslim countries and poorer countries, as well as im sure Israel, the Vatican city-state.

The US is… well, im sure they’d hate to admit it, but the only developed country with that many white ppl who still believe in the gods/goddess religious structure.

But realize, a large swath of america is basically underdeveloped countries, i guarantee you a survey of Nyc + LA + basically the most economically developed cities wouldnt result in Faith being number 5… maybe still top 10 though?
