Greetings Sandegud,
I deleted your addition plot on the religion and science page because it was original research WP:Original research which is prohibited in Wikipedia. All 3 sources you used also do not make the point you put on the caption. In wikipedia, you must find verifiable and reliable sources ( WP:Verifiable, WP:Reliable) that explicitly makes the claims you made in order to be allowed to be posted in Wikipedia.
There are issues with your assumptions on the captions too. There have been direct measures of religiosity and perceptions of science by countries before and they all show that countries with high religiosity have stronger faith in science and that countries with lower religiosity have less faith in science (Norris, Pippa; Ronald Inglehart (2011). Sacred and Secular: Religion and Politics Worldwide (2nd ed.) Cambridge University Press. pp. 67–68.). Also "Among Wealthy Nations U.S. Stands Alone in Its Embrace of Religion". Pew Research Center. 2002. notes that many wealthy countries tend to have low religiosity as does Norris and Inglehart 2011 and that high religiosity is found among countries with less wealth. Trends like this can easily explain your plot in that wealthy countries tend to have more revenues which can be spent on R&D than less wealthy countries.
R&D is a luxury not a necessity. Poorer countries tend to use their revenues on creating stable economies, industries, and reducing poverty, not on R&D. Though according to UNESCO 2010 many developing countries are spending much more on R&D than before. Other relevant studies on science perceptions can be found in The Culture of science: How the Public Relates to Science Across the Globe. New York: Routledge. 2011. One of the research articles, "Religious Belief and Attitudes about Science in the United States" by Keeter, Scott; Smith, Gregory; Masci, David may be of interest as it shows that American are very religious and that they have more favorable attitudes towards science than Europe, Russia, and Japan (all of which have much lower religiosity). Other articles in the collection talk about issues in using economic dimensions to measure perceptions of science.-- Ramos1990 ( talk) 19:33, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Yandex Zen, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Forum, Desktop and Android. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

There is a discussion going on re improving the bitcoin article, and how the blockchain ought to be referred to with respect to bitcoin, here: /info/en/?search=Talk:Bitcoin#Bitcoin_is_not_the_blockchain.3B_it_is_a_blockchain
As a previous commenter on that Talk page, would invite you to consider weighing in on this conversation so that we might see if a consensus is possible. Cheers. N2e ( talk) 19:22, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
