Scientific Fact: Being Religious Keeps You Out of Heaven Longer

[Weatherman2020]

People who are religious live an average of four years longer than those who have no ties to religion, a study published Wednesday in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science. The researchers analyzed the obituaries of more than 1,000 people around the country, and adjusted for other factors that can affect lifespan, including the gender and marital status of the deceased.

I know why, as all religious people do.

Hah, some poor editing in the article: "People who go to church at least once a week are at a 33% lower risk for death, a 2016 study of more than 75,000 people found." Everyone is at the same risk for death, 100%.

There are plenty of reasons religious beliefs could help lengthen lifespan. I'm curious what you think the reason is that you and all religious people know.

My first thought it that it has to do with god keeping the religious alive longer. Is it something like that?

Not if non-religious people go to hell.
