There are many researches of atheism or religiocity on the planet. The most large ones I found was about comparing the wealthiest people with religious people to find correlation; and second one was about military (war) oriented nations and religious ones. In the results of this two researches, we could clearly see the straight correlations: the less religious nation is, the more wealthy and the less militaristic people are. And vice-versa: the more religious nation is, the less wealthy and more militaristic are it's people - for example, most of the country budget is spent into military tasks, not to medicine or science. Being starving of the low life level, low salaries, bad transport, no infractructure, poor quality of internet & communications, unsafe life, imperfect medicine, people being even more religious and this vicious circle restarts again. As for me, the factor of religiocity goes back to the factor of ecological mind, or just an logical mind. I would like our planet to have as less wars or conflicts as possible, as low starving or poor people as possible. This requires people to have less religion! If you're onto your own research on this topic, please follow this link: https://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-the-least-religious-societies-are-the-most-successful-ones - and google some others for yourself. In the end, there is no objective reasons to kill a living creatures, indifferent, humans or animals, as there is no objective reason to live poor or on the edge of starvation or illnesses.
