Cross-National Correlations of Quantifiable Societal Health with Popular Religiosity and Secularism in the Prosperous Democracies

…or more appropriately titled, the journal article that suggests religous societies are worse off, in full.

A deconstruction shall come forth shortly. However, you know you’re off to a bad start when the author opens with this:

Two centuries ago there was relatively little dispute over the existence of God, or the societally beneficial effect of popular belief in a creator. In the twentieth century extensive secularization occurred in western nations, the United States being the only significant exception.

Ugh, this already sounds like something you’d read in Le Monde.
