Which Religion is Best for a Nation? The Evidence is Overwhelming!

Iranian born businessman Patrick Bet-David asks the simple question, what religion creates a better society.

This is question that the media is afraid to ask. Why? Because the answer is not the one they want.

While the world pretends that all religions are equal, it is clear that they are not – not even close.

In this shocking video below, Patrick points out details regarding the impact of Christianity in a society vs. Islam that are so revealing that it will leave you shocked.

The first thing that Patrick uncovers is while Christianity is 32%, it produces 33% of the world’s billionaires and whopping 56% of millionaires while Islam at 25% of the world population only produces 7% of the world’s billionaires and a dismal 6.4% of millionaires.

So while wealth generation should not be the only measurement of the impact of a religion on a society, it does paint a very strong picture of which religion is better for the economy. Except for Judaism, no other religion even comes close to helping people in an upward mobility.

Why is this factor important?

Because economic migration is one of the leading factors for poverty stricken populations from Islam, Buddhist, Hindu, and Atheist nations to leave their homes to live and work in Christians nations.

Patrick then flips the script and shows, not how wealth, but poverty is endemic throughout Islamic nations. Islam produces some of the most impoverished areas in the world.

Patrick is not alone in his quest for this data between the most popular nations in the world.

James Choi had a the same question. James is a finance professor at Yale University. He works at a foundation called Innovations for Poverty Action to find ways to help people get out of poverty.

James began asking the question about the impact of religion, wondering if a nations religion had anything to do with their quality of life. “There’s been a lot of suggestive evidence. What you really want to do for the purpose of social science, to identify an effect, is to randomly assign certain people to be a certain religion and other people to be a different religion, and then just follow them forward and see, how do their economic outcomes differ?”

The fact that Patrick and Choi’s questions are not discussed in basic economics class is pretty insane considering that roughly 8 out of 10 people on the planet identify themselves as religious. The three largest denominations are Christianity, with around 31 percent; Islam, 23 percent; and Hinduism, 15 percent.

Just at a basic glance it is easy to makes some basic assumptions because Christianity is most concentrated in the Americas and Europe as well as South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand while Islam is primarily in the Middle East, North Africa and south Asia , and Hinduism and Buddhism are mostly found in the far east Asian regions at 37% of the world’s population.

When looking at these religious demographics, before any data is even measured, there is a clear difference between wealth, religious freedom, human rights, animal rights, and quality of life that is demonstrably noticeable. There is also a clear difference between these regions when looking at scientific breakthroughs, information technologically advancement, space programs, health care development, and even leisure activities.

James Choi and a team of researchers from Yale University did a sample study (that can be listened to in its entirety here) where the impact of Christianity on a given society was measured and the results were mind blowing.

After only a 52 weeks of a social experiment group being exposed to the Bible, the subjects increased their quality of life in every measurable category, including financial gain!

So in short, both Patrick and James Choi both came to the same conclusion, when measuring one religion against the other in modern day society, Christianity is the clear winner for the betterment of society.

As BTJ travels around the world working primarily in Buddhist, Hindu, Atheist, and Islamic nations, the visual indicators overwhelmingly point to the same conclusion as both Patrick and James Choi have arrived at.
