Last week, AZGOP Representatives on the Education Committee argued that irreligiosity is the root of societal problems… and that more religion leads to better mental health, better schools, and less violence.
Science tells us otherwise. Secular AZ Legal Director Dianne Post wrote a letter to the Representatives, pointing out the facts.
Dear Representative,
I was at the Education committee meeting yesterday (March 11) when you indicated that irreligiosity is the reason for problems that you see in society. Several of you stated that if only we had more religion in schools our society would be better, and children would have better mental health. The evidence shows this is false.
