Economist Jonathan Gruber has found a statistical correlation between attending church and a better economic outcome. Published in a National Bureau of Economic Research paper, he finds a household with double the normal rate of religious attendance has 9.1% more income. That extra religious activity correlates with 16% less than usual welfare participation, 4% lower odds of being divorced and 4.4% higher likelihood of being married.
