reports a study that finds that:
"In general, higher rates of belief in and worship of a creator
correlate with higher rates of homicide, juvenile and early adult
mortality, STD infection rates, teen pregnancy, and abortion in the
prosperous democracies"
and
"The United States is almost always the most dysfunctional of the
developing democracies, sometimes spectacularly so, and almost always
scores poorly. The view of the U.S. as a "shining city on the hill"
to the rest of the world is falsified when it comes to basic measures
of societal health."
and
"Indeed, the data examined in this study demonstrates that only the
more secular, pro-evolution democracies have, for the first time in
history, come closest to achieving practical "cultures of life"
that feature low rates of lethal crime, juvenile-adult mortality, sex
related dysfunction, and even abortion."
