why excessive religiosity, poverty, ignorance and lack of education are often correlated?

Unfortunately it's all due to social class. Again that sounds so silly in this day and age but it's true. It's basically social policy.

Lower social class is linked to lower educational opportunities which is linked to a lower paid job which leads to depression and a lot of people in these situations need something to believe in, something to put their energy into so its usually religion.

Sure, there are some stereotypes of this but the same can be said of wealthy right wing republicans who fall under the very same umbrella.

If you actually think she is going to respond to you maturely then you are failing to realize the reality of this situation. Mildred Pervis is a troll, a pathetic troll along the same lines of Zellparis, Tara J, Tiffany R., etc etc.

Do not answer them or even pay attention to them. That is what they want. Don't fall in that trap.

Where exactly did you read about the study that suggests there is a correlation amongst all of these? I'm seriously wondering. I have a bachelors and masters degree in Sociology and have never heard this before.

these sorts of self righteous bigot trolls (usually other LGBT member trolling to piss us all off) don't care what you have to say.

save your breathe, dude.

We might be poor on the outside but, we are wealthy on the inside, we are protected with God's love. Money, Good Job, Attractive looks can't provide you an escape from Hell.
