Why Do People Become More Spiritual When They Are Poor?
I'm not trying to generalize here. This is just a subjective opinion but I've noticed that people tend to be more spiritual and religious when they are experiencing financial difficulty.

I 've been in such situation before and being spiritual gave me hope and reason to keep struggling, and when no help is forth coming from any direction as far as one can see there seem then to be few other choice other than to look up to the Almighty who can change one's story completely in an unexpected manner as the pastor preaches.

It has to do with "He that is down needs not fear a fall" mentality. Money is a controller of men and nations.

Because they are now poor

Because when a man is down, he will grab on to anything that gives him hope...
Religion offers this.
Holy lies and fables perfectly tailored to offer solace and hope to the lost and broken hearted..

Ah! Is this not a rhetorical question? They want to be rich na,and with all the preaching they hear 4rm properity pastors,its obvious they'll do anything spiritual that promises blessing,wealth,success...eg,they'll fast,pray,give the lil they have as tithes and other 'spiritual things' just to be rich

The Average Nigerian is Callous, Boastful, Arrogant, Miserly, Greedy, Wasteful, and Proud in Nature.
All the traits above he cannot display because of his poor status.
So he tries every means possible to become rich so he can show his real behavior. He turns to religion because that is the cheapest form of hope he receives. He fast and prays 24hours of 365days just to attain financial breakthrough because he is tired of living a fake life of Humility and kindness.
Once God grants him his request, everyone sees the Lucifer in the once believed Angel.
