6. Not really
I'm a Buddhist and I live in a two bedroom bungalow and drive a truck for a living (I wouldn't have it any other way, either). My dad's been a Christian his whole life and he has a similar home as me and works at the post office.

I think it is possible that people who are religious may work together to help each other out and become more successful, but the same thing can be accomplished by being a member of any social club. Religious people are not more successful because God is smiling on them. Hell, I'd be poorer right now if I were a Christian. I would have to tithe 10% of my income.
