It's only a recent historical trend that most of those countries have become irreligious. It could easily be argued that the base of their current prosperity is at least partially their history of religion and religiously inspired government and institutions.
The dirt poor religious countries are ****holes regardless of religion, so that's not a real indictment of religion. But for religious institutions providing some modicum of relief service these places might be even more miserable.
