This is like economic laws. If we talk about short and long term effects mixed, there is nothing that can be understood.
In the short time, a crisis trigger humans to enhance social capital by adhering to the common values (which are ever religious of some kind) This enhances mutual help and a decrease of conflcts due to discrepancy of individualistic goals. It is a sort of emergency mode. In the long term, by the same reasons, a group of people that loose its common religious values loose the informal mechanisms of coordination and is going to death, since these values (that are ultimately religious) are much more important and are the foundation of the formal ones. 2013/4/22 Telmo Menezes <te...@telmomenezes.com> > On the other hand, belief in god seems to correlate with economic collapse: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Europe_belief_in_god.svg > > On Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 8:50 PM, Roger Clough <rclo...@verizon.net> wrote: > > Former KGB Agent explains: The destruction of America from within > > > > Nations die when they lose their religion. > > > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABWlyt2ldKw > > > > > > Dr. Roger Clough NIST (ret.) 4/22/2013 > > http://team.academia.edu/RogerClough > > > > Dr. Roger Clough NIST (ret.) 4/22/2013 > > http://team.academia.edu/RogerClough > > > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > > "Everything List" group. > > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > > email to everything-list+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > > To post to this group, send email to everything-list@googlegroups.com. > > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/everything-list?hl=en > . > > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Everything List" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to everything-list+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to everything-list@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/everything-list?hl=en. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > > -- Alberto. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
