Report Looks at Why Studies Underestimate the Full Benefits of Religion

Passing through New England a few weeks ago, I passed a church that was obviously trying to recruit new parishioners. The pastor has put on the marquee these simple words: “Soft pews, no hell”. I don’t know how effective his appeal was, but I can guess. Based on what we now know about successful religious movements, that strategy likely impeded, rather than aided, recruitment efforts. The reason for this paradox was fathomed by Thomas Carlyle, a hundred and fifty years ago. This is what he said: "It is a calumny [slander] on men to say they are roused to heroic action by ease, the hope of pleasure, recompense—sugar-plums of any kind, in this world or the next! In the meanest mortal there lies something nobler.... It is not to taste sweet things, but to do noble and true things and vindicate himself under God’s Heaven as a god-made Man, that the poorest son of Adam dimly longs. Shew him the way of doing that, the dullest day drudge kindles into a hero.
