The same reason that secular states are poor. Because everyone is whether they want to admit it or not. The USA is very much in debt and people think we are rich! LOL!

All too often people have been fed a bill of goods (bads) that God wants them poor. NOT SO! God said He would provide all of our needs according to His riches in glory...Uh God lives and walks on streets of pure gold! If people choose to believe a lie then they miss out on God's intended blessings. So Sad!

Religion always thrives in the most poverty stricken areas, it gives hope to those with nothing - the promise that there will be riches beyond compare in the kingdom of heaven.

Because 40% of the world's wealth is owned by 1% of its population. Nothing to do with theocracy, even though that is a very bad idea.

Because their leaders have essentially no relation to reality.
