Religious People Are Happier People

It is a— I'm now going to explain something that might turn your life around. Just might. I don't guarantee anything, but if you listen with an open mind, it might. Any honest person, and that excludes a lot of people, sadly, but any honest person knows it's true. Religious people are happier as a rule than irreligious people. So let's say you are not religious and you are not particularly happy. So isn't the obvious conclusion to draw, hey, maybe I'll get religious? Let us say here, I'll give a crazy example. Let us say they did a study that— and you— and study after study like they've done on, on who's happy. And they did a happiness study, and it was found that people with— indisputably, people whose dining rooms were painted blue were happier than other people. Okay, would you paint your dining room blue? Is that a good example? Right? I mean, what does it cost you? Okay, I'll have a blue dining room. So if you know, if you want to be happy, which is most people, not all, there are people who revel in their misery, but if you want to be happy and you— and every single study that I have ever seen in the course of my whole career has argued that religious people are happier than irreligious people. I'm talking about in the West. I don't know if religious Muslims are happier than secular Muslims. I don't know that. So I'm not talking about that. And I'm just, I'm talking about in the, in the world in which we live and the general Judeo-Christian civilization, as it is called. So why wouldn't you make the same decision as the blue dining room decision? By the way, just between you and me, I told Sean many years ago that a pink dining room would make him happier. And if you visit him, that is why he has a pink dining room. At— oh, that was your response? You don't have a dining room. Okay, so he painted his kitchen pink. And he's so embarrassed by that fact, he invites nobody to his house now. It is him and his dog. The dog likes the pink. I believe that. So why wouldn't you pursue religion like you would a blue dining room? And here I have a theory, Prager Theory number 82264. Most non-religious people believe— and oh, I guess, by the way, I suspect a lot of religious people do— that you don't work at being religious. And notice I use the word religious, not spiritual, Spiritual, my friends, is as empty a word as exists in the English language. It means nothing. No thing. Nothing. Psychics who read your palm are spiritual. By the way, I have no issue with them. It's a free country. And have your palm read if you'd like. I, I'm very serious. It's not— it's not condescending. However, it's not religion. Palm reading is not religion. It's spiritual.
