A professor at MIT has published a paper entitled "Is Religion Good for You?" [The link takes you to an abstract that can take you to the article in its entirety.]
It contains the following statement, sure to be found surprising by some [although, I suspect, not by folks at St. Paul's]:
"Doubling the rate of religious attendance raises household income by 9.1 percent, decreases welfare participation by 16 percent from baseline rates, decreases the odds of being divorced by 4 percent , and increases the odds of being married by 4.4 percent."
