" Some countries in the world have high mortality and poor economy specifically because majority of their society doesn’t believe and are instead stuck in various dysfunctional tribal or religious systems."
Eg America. Lawlessness at every level of society. Especially in USA Govt these days.
MAGA, Proud Boys cults, evangelism all dysfunctional tribes. Abject poverty that I saw in multiple small towns when I travelled by road all over USA. But those who have wealth never see the utter misery of life in the Land of The Free. The country is rotten and malignant to the core.
