I'm not going to go do this research right now but I think it'd be pretty easy to plot out an exponential decrease in overall quality of life in areas with a larger amount of religious people.
Think about it. Religions tend to believe that many things are "wrong" and this tends to take away rights and freedoms from huge swaths of the population. The closer you get to that, understandably, the lower the general quality of life will be (Islamic states for instance).
Actually the more I think about it, the more I believe there is a very large and strong link between religious states and quality of life. Maybe it's the lower quality of life (and the lack of access to information that comes with that) that leads to religious following though.
