It's a good question. You know, what led me to this wasn't any pre-existing agenda, I was just following the data. And if you look at the data, what it shows is that people who are engaged with their religion, so it's not just believing, it's not just saying you believe in God, but people who engage with the spiritual practices of their religion tend to live longer, healthier, and happier lives.

And so what we're finding out as scientists is what it really is, is that in the practice of religion, whether it's prayer, whether it's meditation, whether it's grieving rituals, all of these things nudge our minds and bodies in ways that help us deal with life's challenges. And as a scientist, it's my goal to try and understand how that works.

and to see if we can extract anything from that wisdom for people who might not be a member of a traditional faith.

Yeah, I mean, I was raised Catholic, but I kind of left the church and have no religious affiliation. But what I found in my research, you know, is that... A lot of the practices that spiritual traditions ask people to engage in, I'll give you an example in a minute, makes their health and their well-being better. And because there's data there, that's what I want to follow.

I think asking the question as a scientist, does God exist, is kind of useless. It's not that it's not an important question, but it's not a question science can answer. So you can think of these practices as something that a divine God gave to his, her, or its creatures to help them.

Or you can think of them as things that people stumbled into and that have been honed over the centuries to help people live better lives. And I can't answer that question. But what I can tell you is that they help us in many ways meet life's challenges.
