God: No magic required

Agree wholeheartedly with rasetsu's reply, it's basically what I thought when you (OP) tried to establish or claim that there is a causal relationship between religiosity and health when there is only association. As for minority status and health, it's not so much the stress you physically feel, it's more about the stress you experience from different parts of life due to your minority status. If you have less community support or face more discrimination, it will have an effect on your emotional health and sometimes even financial capabilities, both of which, of course, have huge impacts on health.

Additionally, I don't think you have a good grasp on the scientific method or scientific evidence because you kept referring to your personal experiences as evidence.
