Is it developed because it is atheist, or is it atheist because it is developed?
There is still no theory justifying or correlating atheism to social and economic development, quite the contrary, there is Max Weber's theory on the "Ethics of Protestantism and capitalism".
There is in philosophy a principle of the strength of speech in the chapter on the art of speaking and winning arguments called fallacy or sophistry, the sophists were the deceivers who used lists of sentences apparently linked by paronymous words, and paralogy that seemed logical, which in scientific research technique is called spurious manipulation of statistics, the pure coincidence of numbers is not proof of correlated facts, there is the temptation of association between coinciding results that, without a theoretical explanation, are nothing more than mere coincidences, and in Mathematics this can be a trap that mathematicians avoid at all costs.
The coincidence of numbers called numerology is a religion created by the Pythagoreans, the most famous case of this trap was that of the geometers who confused the orbits of the five planets with the perfect coincidence between perfect and regular polygons, which gave the astronomer Copernicus the first planetary celestial mathematical law, the correspondence seemed perfect, the problem is that the other planets were discovered after that and new polygons were missing to complete the mathematical and geometric series, mathematicians never made this mistake again, such as the sequence of primes, the Fibonacci sequence, Kaprekar numbers, p-adic, serve absolutely nothing other than as a great curiosity and remarkable coincidence, such as the lunar cycle of the length of the lunar day being equal to the lunar orbit cycle, which prevents us from seeing a face of the moon from here on Earth.
These are called regression errors when the inductive method is applied indiscriminately, creating spurious correlations, extracting non-existent patterns that cannot be explained outside the numbers without a justification context that associates the independent variables with the dependent variable.
For this purpose, hypothesis testing exists: the null hypothesis, or the zero, null hypothesis, where its refutation or not merely rejects the initial premise.
With proof of the non-existence of God, or the innocence of someone accused of a crime. You can only prove what exists. There is no proof of absence, but by elimination the presence in another place at the same moment is proven, which eliminates the ubiquity of being in two places at the same time, that is, the null hypothesis.
We will never know if, by chance, without the precedence of Protestant Christianity, if Denmark would be a socially advanced country because it is an impossible hypothesis, h0.
We know that the historical basis of these Nordic countries was Calvinist Protestantism and the economic basis was capitalism, we need a theory associating atheism with progress because there is already a theory associating economic progress with Protestantism, in addition they are socialist countries constituted on a very advanced basis of advanced capitalism, unlike the USSR which created communism without the basis prior to capitalism, which was not the case in China whose development of capitalist institutions dates back to the era of Confucius, copied by Max Weber although not explicitly recognized when he calls it traditional domination instead of rational domination, but these are the idiosyncrasies of a Eurocentric.
