There is a strong correlation b/w science and non-reglious countries. The case of saudi arabia is interesting. Although it is wealthy the country does not have the capability to manufacture.

If that correlation existed no one would need to worry about middle eastern WMDs.
In the UK we have a welfare state to meet some basic needs; entertainment, sport and consumerism to distract us from existential concerns, the rule of law to provide justice in this life, and education to teach us through comparison that all religions can not possibly be true, by implication none of them are.
In other countries where daily life is grindingly miserable and short; more people might place their hope in a future life and hope for some kind of eventual justice.

Why would they bother though? All they have to do is pump oil and buy whatever they want with the proceeds :) It's one resource that only becomes more valuable (even after we move to 100% green energy oil is still used for production of plastics etc).
