The "religious" of the various Creationist/Innerantist/Literalist camps will simply ignore such tests (remember the Answers in Genesis dictum that "believers" ignore contradictory evidence). Atheists in the peanut gallery will ignore it because it was a "religious" sponsored and produced study.

Peanut gallery? what's that?

@TheGodlessGuitarist: Remember (or, have you heard of... you might not be old enough) Howdy Doody? The "audience" of kids that were there to laugh, applause or jeer were called "The Peanut Gallery".

" there to laugh, applause or jeer were called "The Peanut Gallery"."
No, that's new to me.

What makes you say that?

@artyfarty2: The Kripke Center was founded by a Rabbi and some fellow free thinkers of a Christian leaning (I forget the gentlewomans name and who else was involved). This isn't a fault of theirs, being religious, as they aren't a bunch of dogmatic fundamentalists, but that's all it takes to make many an "atheist" who think anything from the religious side of the debate is tainted. @TheGodlessGuitarist: Those, btw, are the worst of the "peanut gallery" on the Atheist side of the debate :p

I'm not sure Gregory S. Paul is religious.

Have you read the study?

You'd think it wouldn't matter if religious people were behind the study. Data is data, and so long as it is acquired honestly and fairly, there is no refuting it.
I'd think it rather large of those people to study the health of nations honestly in spite of not agreeing with their beliefs.

Agreed. The study is fascinating and doesn't look very biased, so it's a refreshing change from the biased reports with cherry picked statistics I see all the time. Their conclusions are exactly what anyone who can see past the silliness on both sides would come to (Yes, arty, I read the report :P). They're bashing both anti-science and wealth-produces-health thinking, and quite rightly so. I get the impression this study is a wake up call to other "Theists".
