“For example, I have travelled to Vietnam several times. On Sundays in the South, I see the churches literally overflowing with people during services. They fill the steps and courtyards the churches are so packed.”

Possibly the Vietnamese have a stronger connection to the eternal?

Is it simply because they have weaker connection to the temporal (having a lower standard of living than more ‘advanced societies’)??
