Being born in post collapse ex soviet state(Imagine the collapse of UK or US), I think a lot of poor people getting disappointed in life would just quit it if it wasn't for invisible happy land and painful land waiting for them.
I am from East Europe so I would say that this is not the case. It is more like the people are poor and have a poor education, even the education system is shit, and this is known to be correlated with high religousness. And even if they will strive for better education, they will do it for the money considering school just a nuisance in their way out of poverty.
