But, attending religious services didn't improve the risk of death from cardiovascular disease or improve heart outcomes, the study found.

I can vouch for that after having two heart attacks in the past four years, and just last week had surgery to put in a Pacemaker/Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator. LOL

Truly believing in anything will help you live longer.

It takes a lot of stress out of your life if you believe someone else controls your life/destiny.

But I think going to services as a non-believer(like I was forced to for several years) is just frustrating.

I think the reason why is because of a support system when things may downturn in your life. There are people to pray for you, encourage you, and help you however possible.
