POPSDIY Religions Cause More Harm Than Good? This may not be a fair study, as statistics can be manipulated in sociological studies. For example, perhaps young people with troubling circumstances are drawn to new age religions. In that case, the new age religions would not be the cause of the mental health condition... rather it would be one of the therapies to alleviate the condition. Another example... you could easily make the correlation that drinking beer in a pub causes lung cancer... simply because many people that drink beer in pubs also smoke cigarettes.

Hautily telling Napoleon that he had no need for the God hypothesis, Laplace extended Newton’s mathematics and opened the way to a purely physical theory. “What concerns me now is that even if you’re as brilliant as Newton, you reach a point where you start basking in the majesty of God and then your discovery stops — it just stops,” Dr. Tyson sa
