Many evil people are very healthy.
My take, the nicest christian you've ever met is still a scapegoater. That meets the bar for "evil" - in my opinion...in ways that many things others describe as "evil" simply don't. I'd be careful to call religion a determinant, especially when correlation is an option. Also wondering how that study controlled for the adverse effects upon the faithless' mental and physical health that are part and parcel of interaction with the faithful..including condescending and dismissive family members..or the odd beheading.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
