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.

IQ is independant of education. I say nothing of being educated.
And I agree with your second paragraph. Poverty leads to a bad life which leads to theism (a need for some sort of meaning, false happiness). Again, a generalization.
