STUDY: Want ‘sustained happiness’? Get religion.

1. Work with charity
2. Taking classes
3. church
4. political organization

Third how do they know it's "sustained happiness" how did they measure this, how do they know the happiness will or has been sustained?

Also, If they interviewed 9000 atheists with the same four options, my guess is one of the other 3 options would be revealed as the key to sustaining happiness.

Thanks for digging that deep. You didn't even have to do this as I pointed out in post #2. There's that crucial word may lead to. So, even given all the above, they still can't find conclusive evidence to make the claim Randy did in his OP.

As had to be expected, he never answered that question. As usual, he took his shit and made a runner when challenged.
