Orthodox wealth.

(comparison of GDP of Orthodox countries with countries of wild capital)

Sazu I will make a reservation, I am a baptized person and a believer - at least to the extent that I understand it myself.

Like Pushkin, it became interesting for me to understand:

“As the state gets richer, And is it possible to compare the wealth (GDP) of a particular country with the Orthodox religion of the bulk of the population with states professing other ruligions?

It will be great to compare such an indicator of financial power as GDP in Orthodox countries with states such as the United States and Japan.

I do not presume to judge the scientific nature of such an assessment, but I will just give the data.

The total number of Orthodox people on the planet is about 220 million people - a little more than 3% of the world's population and 9% of those who are usually considered Christians.

The main countries where Orthodox people live are Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Greece and Cyprus. These are countries familiar to our ears, but the Orthodox religion itself is widespread and one can find fellow believers in such exotic places as Kemeroon, Kenya, Uganda, Australia, Lebanon, Croatia, Albania, Austria and long-suffering Syria

Let's just say - these are countries that are little related to the countries of Western civilization, more and more Eastern Slavs.

So let's take a look at these countries and compare the% of their GDP in billions of dollars. (2016) with the USA and Japan.

The country	How many Orthodox (thousand people)	% to population	Gdp	% to GDP
				USA 18600	Japan 11200
Russia	110563	75	1281	7	11, 4
Ukraine	29500	66	93	0, 5	0, 8
Belarus	4612	48	50	0, 3	0, 4
Moldavia	3158	93	7	0, 04	0, 06
Georgia	3248	78	14	0, 08	0, 1
Romania	17796	82	187	1	1, 7
Bulgaria	6310	85	52	0, 3	0, 5
Macedonia	1340	65	11	0, 06	0, 09
Serbia	6371	88	38	0, 2	0, 3
Montenegro	508	76	4	0, 02	0, 03
Greece	10560	98	170	0, 9	1, 5
Cyprus	550	69	20	0, 1	0, 02

So it is clear that the comparison is not in favor of the Orthodox people. You can immediately start breaking copies of me and demand a comparison of GDP per capita, but, believe me, the comparison remains just as hard-hitting.

For the purity of the experiment, we summarize the GDP of the main Orthodox countries and compare.

The total gross product is 1927, only 10% to the US GDP, and 17.2% to Japan.

Here, if we paraphrase the classic:

I don’t know what conclusions to draw, but they are painfully unpleasant - the Orthodox people are poor. This comes from laziness or from some kind of religious beliefs, I will not seek out.

All that remains is to roll up your sleeves and pray, get to work!
