Is it true?

A growing number of people in the world are atheist.

When people are hard, they depend on religion.

Because, the religion give stability of mind to people.

So people believe the existence of God.

Also people think that God will solve their problems.

But according to recent survey, we can recognize that the rate of atheist increases.

The result of the survey showed that religious mind relate to income level.

When the income level of country increases, the religious mind of the country decreases.

Therefore, A growing number of atheist in the world is meaning of economic growth in the world.

On the other hand, the poor country is still many atheist.

For example, Ghana is nation of low income level.

So Ghana has the highest rate of atheist in the world.

I think that result of the survey correct.

Because people feel that poverty is hard.

So they want to overcome poverty through God in religion.

Also people without money troubles are happy now.

Therefore, they don’t need God who solve the problems.
