Protestant work ethic not so productive now
America’s vaunted Protestant work ethic is getting a makeover: now it might be more of a secular or atheist work ethic.
A new study has found an inverse relationship between the religiosity of a state’s population and its “productive entrepreneurship.” That’s professor-speak for “entrepreneurial investment responsible for real economic growth.”
In other words, the less religious a state’s population, the more likely it is to have a healthy economy.
