> religious minorities tend to perform better economically than the majority religious group(s) since they have to work harder to overcome institutional and historical hurdles placed in their way

They dont? Religious minorities tend to worst then majority. They do sometimes get accused to be too rich by propaganda.

Jew in Europe nor in Germany specifically before WWII were not actually richer, statistically. They were on average lower middle class. Many of them were poor and refugees from eastern europe. Where individuals have been more successful, majority resented that and wanted to punish all Jews for it.

Yazidi are not richer then average in Iraque. Kurds are not richer then majority.
