Let's read a story written by a "religion correspondent" who is anti-religion where the proof is a single study that's very starting point is blatantly incorrect and ignorant. Good find.
As one of those churchgoing Americans being represented here, I'd like to mention that I know not a single Christian who feels that way. We are actually all pretty disgusted with the country because of it's social depravity. Now admittedly, it's better than, say, Thailand, wehre there tens of thousands of prostitues in a single city because their families sold them as children, but the US is hardly a pure country. How many Bible believing Christians did they interview before creating their very core reason for making the study?
Find me a study that compares the health, general well-being, and happiness of Bible believing evangelicals and non-Christians. You'll be surprised.
