If something has an on off switch then to use it properly for the function it was intended it must be turned on.

Someone in authority must have told them to turn it off so they did.

Are more educated societies also wealthier societies? Societies with more material distractions and pleasures? True America seems to be an exception, they combined God and material excess somehow.

That's because of a cultural influence from a community dominated by a the belief system of materialism. It's not because God and science are incompatible. You do know that most of the major scientific discoveries in history were made by theists?
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
