Most miss the point entirely. The Muslim religion, the Catholic religion and most major religions rely on keeping their adherents in the lower levels of the economic ladder, this is the only means of control these religions have over their followers. There is no middle class in the Muslim dominated countries, There is no Middle class in Mexico, I could go on but this is why the Muslims are doing everything to prevent Economic success in Iraq and why the Catholic Bishops in the United States Embrace Illegal aliens, mostly from Mexico. Economic success does not lead to increased religious beliefs.
Keep em poor. Religion is the opiate of the poor.
Religion and Morality are not Synonymous words. Something the Liberals do not understand.

Jewish, Catholic Irish, Italians and Germans just to name a few ethnic groups might find your assessment LAUGHABLE! I know I do...
Maybe you should look at American taxpayer rolls before you make any more ridiculous claims...

Catholic bishops embrace all people especially Mexicans who just so happen to be Catholic.
This Bill Maher liberal tripe you are posting that people of religion are poor and ignorant is not worth distinguishing with any further response.

If you find one or more exceptions to your "rule" that religion is the opiate of the poor, then your "rule" is invalid. There are many exceptions to your "rule," and therefore it is invalid.
Try to find another explanation -- your denigration of "religion" itself is not supported by the explanation you've given.

Another MENSA graduate using muslim outrages to bash Christians.
Nice try Einstein. As a lifelong Christian, and not poor, I have only one answer to your really absurd statements:
BULLSHIT!*
Have a nice day.
