Values Map

From this article: http://www.economist.com/displaystory.cfm?story_id=1511812 there is a map of values divided by state:

Obviously, constructing a map of this kind on only two axis is heavily simplified and rather arbitrary, but I was wondering what thoughts anyone might have on this. In particular, why has increased prosperity in Europe led to increased secularism, but not in the United States? Another anomaly would seem to be Japan; I fail to see how it could possibly be described as being more 'post-traditional' than Sweden; my impression was that we are speaking of a still very traditional country.

I was also impressed by how easily a map like this one,

or a more rich and accurate one, can lead to questions such as how human prosperity, wealth, geopolitical power and aggression are associated, facilitated, or hindered by cultural traits.
