> say my average atheist friend who is a director in a FAANG

Not a lot of "average" going on here.

What I should have said is the two guys are fairly representative and more importantly line up to the story: if we are so Rich how are we so sad. So I used to relatively rich friends as the example:)

That's totally fair. I think to the extent that wealth degrades community you're going to have a clear trend.

The counterpoint of the example I used is that among my religious friends wealth has not degraded family/community.

Small personal example - we are undergoing home renovation right now to create a larger dining room that can accommodate better our extended family. I see this kind of behavior among friends and family who are religious and can afford to.
