People in Asia, Africa and South America are discovering and agreeing with the bible. Apparently a lot of these cultures can identify even with the Old Testament because a lot are agricultural communities they can understand the farming/sowing type parables better than urbanized countries. The bible's message is continuing to resonate with the poor throughout the world.

In my opinion, it's more about being poor and religion providing some hope that "it'll all be ok in the end" rather than that they are agricultural. My intuitive position would be that any lifestyle similarities would be trumped by other cultural differences (though I guess most of those cultures had western religious input several centuries ago)
