There are too many extreme opinions and too much corruption amongst religion within the country, resulting in mass delusion. Bill Maher said it best.. "We are 10th right now in social mobility. That's like Sweden coming 10th in Swedish meatballs." America is behind countries in terms of the American Dream, which by the term, we should be the bread winners at.

All this graph says is that National Wealth and belief in evolution may be correlated, you can't even say that belief in it causes a better National Wealth or the opposite. And finally, the U.S. is the counterproof that it's possible to have one without the other.

No, but in the tiniest ways it shows what countries have their population on common and mutual ideals/terms and their reward for that.

You can't say it's the reward for having common ideals, it could be the exact opposite (that good wealth leads to common ideals) or they could have nothing to do with each other in terms of causality.

Countries who don't have a scatter plot of religious beliefs, political opinions, or stereotypical concerns (AKA America) tend to be better off in general really. It's just one thing leading to another. Common political opinion --> A unified, solid Government/Rule --> Better economic state. Calling it a 'reward' is oddly put, you're right; but something along those lines. They usually come out on top amongst those that DO have the scatter plot of BS.

I'm just saying you can't conclude that from the data, not that it isn't possible/correct.
