More than rich I would say it’s an evangelical / Protestant trait, somehow. I’ve experienced it in London, and Amsterdam that are anyway still evangelical, but absolutely not in Spain or Italy that are catholic
I’m not sure I’m not a religious scholar not believer but have still received a catholic education being Italian (went to catholic private schools) and a lot of things that I absolutely hate are mostly explained by people I talk to with being a result of evangelical education
What do you think? Might it be more cultural than related to status?
According to [1], the fraction of the USA that is evangelical has been declining: it claims white evangelicals made up 13% of the US population in 2018, while Catholics were 22%, and people with no religion were 21%.
I am not sure that what I was talking about is directly related to a change in beliefs, I am not a catholic, but nonetheless a lot of my decisions are affected by the catholic doctrine, even by "muscle memory", because my point of view has developed within the context of this culture, so I am not sure that going from 50% of people associated with a cult to 18% makes the drop in how people behaves also so marked?
