    Hmm, on the other hand, using religion for medicine might also be a confounding factor due to less diagnosis.

    Have literally never heard of that. Is there any area where this is prominent?

      Have you ever heard of the The Christian Science Monitor? It's a mostly-respectable newspaper (now website) published by The Christian Science Publishing Society, the publishing arm of the church. Christian Science is very much a dying religion, and is not "prominent" anywhere so I'm not surprised that you never heard of them if you're young. The mother church is in Boston though.

        43 and grew up in the south, which is why I was surprised. Boston makes a little more sense though.
