Simply put…
So the U.S. Journal of Religion and Society publishes a study suggesting that, around the world, religious belief in society is inversely proportional to social health. But it takes the London Times to report this. The conclusion is pretty grim:
None of the strongly secularized, pro-evolution democracies is experiencing high levels of measurable dysfunction…Indeed, the data examined in this study demonstrates that only the more secular, pro-evolution democracies have, for the first time in history, come closest to achieving practical “cultures of life” that feature low rates of lethal crime, juvenile-adult mortality, sex related dysfunction, and even abortion…The United States’ deep social problems are all the more disturbing because the nation enjoys exceptional per capita wealth…[but is] the least efficient western nation in terms of converting wealth into cultural and physical health.
