Do languages that read from right to left think of time as progressing from right to left?

As an English speaker I, and I assume most people, think of time progressing in the forward direction to the right. For example when plotting a time line, the most recent events would be to the right, and historic events to the left. 
Does the direction of reading affect this?

"Not the answer but related". In English, people think of the future as ahead of you, and the past behind you but in some other languages the past is in front of you and the future behind you because you can see the past and it can give you clues about the future but you can't know for sure whats behind you/in the future.
