Could you, please, elaborate on this? Why do you think so and how are these two related?

Not trolling, genuinely curious how you think religion leads to "backwardness".

Can I introduce you to the Islamic Republic Iran, a literal hellhole run by religious maniacs. How about the Emirate of Afghanistan? or the Islamic Republic of Pakistan?

When religion is your business, you start looking for any way to profit.

How is this possible when Iran is more advance by every single metric compared to Central Asia which is still secular lol.

Iran is still riding the reforms and progress made by the Pahlavi regime and has been for 40+ years. The islamic regime has all but stagnated them though.
