It is a well-established fact that the most religious modern societies are the poorest, having the least life expectancy, most infant mortality, hunger, wars, wild animals and everything that's on the Torah's list of curses.
It appears that the principle of reward-and-punishment should work for all nations, especially for Christians and Muslims that accept the 7 Noahide Laws and probably most of what the Torah could expect from gentiles.
Needless to say that this is true for the Jewish communities as well - compare Meah Sharim to Tel-Aviv or ... (I don't know about America).
How this phenomenon can be theologically explained at large (from Torah's viewpoint)?
(I already suggested "צדיק ורע לו" here.)
