Very rough...and obviously not accurate to any reasonable degree, but it does give the general idea...

But don't confuse cause and causation. Are the majority of poor people religous because of elements of poverty, or is poverty the result of religion?
My personal theory is that when people are very poor or poverty stricken, they search for faith more than someone who has health and wealth. Of course, that is a huge generalization... but I believe to be the general case in most societies.
I don't feel that it is a matter of being educated or not, although most very poor people are uneducated.
