Q) people in north Korea are watching south Korean television and films. What can this lead to?

North Koreans are strictly prohibited from seeing the South Korean media. In fact, I have seen these cases in news and newspapers a few times, and all of the people caught are taken to prison camps and are tortured in contemporary ways. Such inhumane punishment of North Korea is considered to be a 'massive human rights abuse' beyond just 'maintaining the system'.
Q) Religion is negatively correlated with wealth. How could we explain this?

The more economically wealthy the less religion dependent phenomenon seems to be the psychological factor. Religion has previously learned that it can play a role in rationalizing the inequality of the masses. People are more likely to feel emotionally uncertain and uneasy as they are poorer. That is, we need a sanctuary that can rule the mind, and religion can play this role. Rich people, on the other hand, have relatively low levels of anxiety and are likely to rely more on secular aspects.

Q)Why is God in christianity often portrayed as a male?

I think the reason why God was described as only a man is because the values of men and women at that time were different. Women in the past would have had very low social status and people at that time would have thought that a person with a high social status would resemble a god.
