quote:
1. By and large, the nations of higher standard are those of a Biblical based ancestory whether it be of the OT or of both the OT and NT. That is not to say all are. There are some exceptions. In many of these nations secularism has prevailed in recent decades, but a measure of morality and some Biblical values are instilled in the culture nevertheless.
Excuse my late entry in this discussion, but I'm at a loss to understand how material gain can be held up as proof that a nation is correctly following the will of a god who says to give everything away to the poor and live only for the eternal reward he offers you. I won't pick on the documentation or research - it's obvious you don't care to match the efforts of those already involved - but it seems your fundamental point is at odds with the sayings of Jesus himself. You get more money, a better house, and clean water if you nominally embrace Christianity as a nation? I don't think so.
