Right, but the sample set of happiness per capita is clearly not represented, right? I mean China has billions of people, is irreligious, but is unhappy. So if all people are equal and not all counties are equal then statistically more people are irreligious and unhappy.
The problem is that countries have these things called "governments" which probably affect their happiness far more than what the church on the corner is doing. Unless the government, is you know, working with the church on the corner to try and use them to bully the more secular populous. Which doesn't help in gaining accurate statistics on how much the riligousity of said countries actually are.
As far as the Peason correlation thing, as I noted, I'm not a statistictian so my claim of it being in the "middle" can be inaccurate as some scales are exponential in factors, and .5 isn't really a "middle"
One thing I tried to do with the two charts and see if there was a correlation with Happiness and GDP. Unfortunately it seemed that China was missing from chart, but it does seem there is some correlation as some of those found in the high GDP were in the high happiness section as well.
