Despite the presence of churches, it didn't help that some poor people were still going to act and be trashy, which kept them in the same place they started in.
I think they'd all tell you they believed in God, but I have no idea if they listened.
I don't care if they end up in the same place they started -- that's got nothing to do with the discussion. I don't understand why you think this has anything to do with social mobility.
As long as they don't end up at my place stealing or breaking shit or generally holding other productive people back, they aren't a problem to me, and really aren't relevant to the discussion. The "bottom quintile" was generally not a problem for anybody in my town.
Poor culture is the bottom quintile, whatever and whomever it will be.
If it wasn't anyone in your town, then good. You were lucky.
