RTB said "The relgious are desperate especially the poor."

- Good point but not only the poor. People who come to the end of themselves, when they reach the limit of their own abilities and find (or believe) themselves still shortchanged.

And another thing, there are many wealthy religious people, and that would probably be thanks to their parents' upbringing, but somewhere up along the family tree, there must have been someone who was either poor or had come to the end of themselves.

This is also why the next generation is more detached from the former, unless they are very close. Still nothing like experience as the best teacher of all.
