Will Going to Church Make You Rich?

I’ve got no patience for the health and wealth gospel peddled by some televangelists. But this article from the Economist is rather intriguing.

Excerpt:

“Some of the occasional churchgoers must wonder whether they might benefit from turning up more often. If they did so, they could gain more than spiritual nourishment. Jonathan Gruber, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, claims that regular religious participation leads to better education, higher income and a lower chance of divorce.”

I’ll be back. Just going to check my bank balance.
