subject: Non-religius people are happier

-> Looks like those who don't have to rely on invisible imaginary beings are
-> happier.

Well now, daggummit, lookie here! Religion ain't t' make ya happy, theys

-> A new study (pdf) into the correlation between religious belief and

 shows that the less religious a society is the

That report was stolen from a term paper by Miss Susan Weeble, of the
Joseph Fingerbergerstein Rasmughiggen Elementry School in Dismal Seepage
Saskatchewan, 1974

would collapse :-)
