All of those "social technologies" except one have nothing to do with atheism. And the Church does not exactly have a squeaky clean track record when it comes to orphans.

Add to the fact, often the most impoverished countries tend to be more religious. You're not finding a strong correlation to your point.

Poverty and education is a foremost problem.

Which way does that correlation run? Maybe impoverished countries are especially in need of the social organization provided by religion because, unlike rich countries, they can't afford to "f--k around?" They can't just spend government funds to deal with the negative social consequences of out-of-wedlock births, divorces, etc.
