A new study conducted at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) may help senior citizens divine the importance of attending church to their physical health. The soon-to-be released report cites a correlation between church service attendance and improved lung health in subjects aged 70 to 79. The findings will be published in the upcoming issue of “Annals of Behavioral Medicine.”

You're ignoring what I just posted. It's foolish to take these studies as proof of magical health effects of going to church because - as I explained before - church attendance is itself a test for health!

You've set up the experiment so that the vast majority of the unhealthy people are going to be in the "non-attender" group. Of course they'll have poorer health than the "attender" group; it's how the game was rigged from the outset.

Berkeley - Churchgoers may have an extra reason besides Easter to don their Sunday best. A new study by researchers in California provides more evidence that regular church attendance is linked to a longer, healthier life.

I see, it's only done correctly if it supports secularism and evolution, got it.
