Er, seems like an outlier on this list. I doubt religion, which often suggests causes and effects originating from divinity rather than predictive behavior, will overall result in life extending decisions.
Besides, just logically it would seem to be a source of acceptance of your impending death, when perhaps continuing to fight for life may be the superior strategy.

- matai_kolila 4y agoPre-COVID data suggesting "gathering regularly in person makes you live longer" would seemingly be not as relevant now. Additionally, I see no control for "religiousness" of the gathering, only "The simple act of congregating with a like-minded community might deserve much of the credit." So, per your own source, "be religious" is not what would extend your life and is therefore not accurate advice.
