India will never be like China. Chinese are less religious. Religion is an evolution deterrent

Chinese are religious though. The CCP isn’t but most Chinese people believe in folk religions and what not.

Also this “religion is a deterrent” argument falls apart when you look at places like Poland.

Edit: Ireland is also the prime example as well, they’re like 80% Catholic and yet have one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

Yeah, their GDP is one of the fastest growing in Europe. And they are very religious.

Same with Ireland.
