 @429bb265 @c6275ce1 @a0b5ba53 quite the bold statement to imply that places without religion are someone more accessible than those places without. If anything religion is the way people access those very serices and needs you state are "widely" available. 

I can tell that this is a very narrow and western understanding of religion. I'd really urge a bit more exploration with religious leftists/anarchist. 
 @deb6f389 @c6275ce1 @a0b5ba53 Countries with the highest amounts of atheist are ones with more accessable healthcare, education, and other necessities, and I believe the two are directly linked. And whatever services religious organizations provide can be easily done by secular organizations.

God does not have to test the loyalty of atheists. That is why he lets them languish in prosperity.
