Why did the Muslim Brotherhood take off in the 1970s? Why is Pentecostalism thriving in Latin America? What explains rising religosity in post-Soviet Central Asia? Why is weekly prayer highest in Sub-Saharan Africa? Why has Catholic Ireland rapidly secularised?
At the risk of sounding like Mao talking about the French Revolution, perhaps it is too soon to tell if secularism is a consequence of development across the board, or a phenomenon unique to Communist and Christian-majority countries?
The World Values Survey shows a decline in religiosity in many countries since 2007, but even that is heavily skewed towards Christian-majority countries, with the exception of Turkey and a couple more.
How do economic downturn affect religiosity in countries with strong safety nets?

I would disagree. Wealthy urban upper class as well as upper caste people are the most likely to vote for BJP (right wing religious party) in India: https://www.livemint.com/politics/news/where-did-the-bjp-get-its-votes-from-in-2019/amp-1559547933995.html
Good point, I deleted my comment. "Secular" was the wrong term.
I asked this question in other comment but I think you didn’t saw it so pasting this here again:
How do economic downturn affect religiosity in countries with strong social and financial safety nets like Northern European countries?
