Stupidly Happy

I just heard on RTE Radio, immediately after it's lunchtime call to prayer, that, according to a recent study, religion makes its adherents happier and healthier on average than those who do not practise religion. 

This study, supported by groups as diverse as the Catholic and Protestant churches, surely cannot be ignored. Apparently, smoking has detrimental effects on health and that's one of the reasons I don't do it. So, now, I think it's time to kick atheism into touch for the good of my health. Why wouldn't I?

Brilliant! So now I believe. Ahhhh. That's better.
