Why do Protestant countries seem nicer?

The nicest, wealthiest countries all seem (at least formerly or traditionally) Protestant, why is that? Why is the general trend that they seem wealthier and more developed than Catholic countries?

Socialism and hyper traditionalism

Because they're more evil and have fewer qualms about stealing from less powerful countries.

>Because they're more evil
You are joking right?
Catholics murdered millions in Europe.

>Catholics murdered millions in Europe.
What are you referring to?

In Bulgaria the Orthodox church is just mafia and money loundrying .

...

The most atheist, nihilist and cucked counties are protestant. This is a direct consequence of what happens when you leave a 2000 year old institution for ''Sola Scrittura''

Also only reason Protestant countries have more Shekels is because they ignore basic morality and culture.

Well, so did Protestants

They dindu nuffin and I miss them

>MILLIONS
>inquisition
Official number of victims is 1200+-, executed of those - 300+-. Wtf are you talking about? inquisition is one big meme.

Protestant work ethic my guy, they are also less happy than Catholic countries

They are Germanic. The Protestant Reformation was just Germanic resistance against Latin degeneracy. See also Hajnal line.

Exaggerated by anti-Catholics. Also, a lot of the executions were not even done by the Church but by government workers larping as Catholics.

It's just le funny meme friend

What is yellow?

The wealthiest part of Germany is Catholic.

pretty much this

latvia is mostly larping as protestant, not catholic and we are not really a nice wealthy country
your map is wrong
>burger
oh, makes sense.

Blue is highly developed regions, yellow is intermediate transition regions, red is less developed regions.

What does Protestantism have to do specifically with work ethic though? The people there were probably hard workers before it, and virtually everybody at some point in history was slaving away working some horrible job for 12+ hours a day. Not only that but even if you could reliably quantify happiness are you sure that Sweden/Denmark/Norway wouldn't be happier than Spain or Portugal? That just seems obvious or intuitive.

But the general trend is that traditionally (considering most are mostly secular now) Protestant countries are richer. For every Catholic Bavaria there's a Catholic Spain and Portugal and a Protestant Netherlands and Denmark.
The map doesn't have to do with Catholic/Protestant but with regional development and wealth.

And Austria is Catholic. Do you know what they have in common? A giant circle jerk

>muh Hajnal line
Typical nazi cuckold

Better use this

Here's a better one. Your one is sort of confusing because it doesn't show population density.

>if you could reliably quantify happiness
Not really, it's based on self reporting and depression rates, Scandinavians rate themselves as less happy and suffer from more depression than Spain and Italy for example.

I'd recommend Max Weber to get an insight into why protestant cultures seem to value work so highly.

>Sardinia
>same level as East Germany
Wut?

intrestng

The Catholic Church is more concerned with spiritual wealth. It recognizes that material wealth is overrated.

Lol, no, it's about the religion itself
LESS = BETTER
>Italy = kek
>Ireland = kek
>Romania = shithole
>Portugal = shithole
>Greece = shithole
>Turkey = no comment

They seem more Islamic these days

Define nice.
Protestant countries are richer because the protestant faith is more lenient towards greed and thus allows rulers to practice usury and other practices that the catholic faith considers unethical.
