If that's true, I can hardly see how more religion will help.
As my disclaimer suggested I've heard of these statistics before and I question them. I see too many variables that could skew things. This does not mean that I'm unwilling to be convened of your point, it only means I'm skeptical. Thanks for posting the link. I promise to look at it soon. I'm hoping to find links to any studies that show how the statistics were obtained.
It wasn't my point to make. I'm skeptical of the numbers as well, which is why I said I didn't know whether the claims were true. Just presenting them as fodder for discussion.
