N2 - Lives that are more comfortable and secure have less need for religion, Pippa Norris and Ronald Inglehart argue. There is no need for religion, Phil Zuckerman believes, particularly when physical, economic and social security as well as political stability develop.

This paper provides insight into these questions by analyzing theological, quantitative and qualitative components influencing the relationships between economic status and religious adherence.
