Studies show churchgoers are ‘happier and healthier’

PEOPLE who pray and go to Church are happier and healthier than people not practising religion, a report by a leading psychiatrist has claimed.

Professor Patricia Casey said a series of international studies and research has gathered evidence that faith could ease depression, help people live longer and prevent suicide.

“The studies don’t ‘prove’ that the claims of the various religions are true or that God exists,” Prof Casey said.
