Does it follow from this theory that we expect cultures lacking Christianity and Judaism as significant influences to develop literacy and research much more slowly and incompletely than those that possessed it? For example, does this theory predict that China mostly lacked literacy and research prior to the arrival of Christian missionaries?
In the absence of theories of other things that might serve the same purpose, it would seem to necessarily follow from this theory, yes.
