Research from Harvard Recommends Surprising Health Hack: Go to Church.

But study after study has shown that people who attend religious services once a week or more are happier, healthier, and longer-lived than those who don’t. If any other practice had the same effects, it would be widely advertised in public health campaigns.

Isn't it amazing how this world will try to cast churchgoing in a negative light?  Surely "those people" are backward yokels, beliving in an oppressive religion (or so their untamed thoughts lead them to believe). However, just the opposite is true. Christians, write large, are more educated, more healthy, and happier than their secular counterparts!

But the results of what has been called “the great dechurching” in America have been measurably bad. Less churchgoing has led to lower mental health and happiness, more loneliness, more drug abuse, more alcoholism, less volunteering, less giving to those in need, reduced life expectancy, and more suicides. Even the most skeptical experts acknowledge that declining church attendance in the United States and (over a longer time period) across the West has had devastating side effects.
