People who attend religious services weekly live longer and have children that are better behaved and adjusted than other children.

Of course, maybe they should’ve qualified which religion.

1. Clearly these people have not been to church with my family.

2. As a student at a Jesuit High School, I’ve tried before to argue both the existence of a God to online communities I participated in (not anymore I don’t)and the psychological benefits of believing in God (no matter what you call him). If for no other reason, I said that they should acknowledge that believing in a higher being can be a stress reliever because often religion presents for us alternative methods and a sense of guidance to get through life’s problems other than what we can think of. Its just AMAZING to see what lengths some people will go to deny God.

3. I agree that they should specify the religion of the kids. After all, with a 16,000 kid sample, the results should suffice to distinguish between catholics and protestants.
