Terry Sanderson, president of the National Secular Society, which represents the interests of atheists and agnostics, said that studies purporting to show a link between happiness and religion were “all meaningless“.
Naturally.ÂÂ
Journalists search for meaning:
Indeed, 55 percent of the national press corps said business and financial woes were the most important problem in journalism today, up from 30 percent four years ago. Twenty-two percent cited the quality of coverage as the biggest problem, 20 percent cited the “media environment,” 9 percent cited flagging press credibility and 3 percent cited “ethics and standards.”
An effect searching for a cause.

I bet Sanderson was pissed when he said that.
Funny, I’m an atheist, and I find such studies perfectly plausible. Religion sure seems to make people happier, typically.
