Bad Bad Science
Social science, not being a science, is by definition bad science, but some of it appears to be really, really bad, like the study entitled "Cross-National Correlations of Quantifiable Societal Health with Popular Religiosity and Secularism in the Prosperous Democracies: A First Look" by Gregory Paul. The study claims that religious belief causes societal dysfunction. Worse than the study was the smugly glowing reaction it received from the Secular Leftist media.
The study is demolished in this ZENIT article: Religion: Harmful for Society?: New Study Says Yes, But Its Argument Shows Flaws.
A non-believer writing for the WSJ takes it on, too: So That's the Reason: A scientist blames America's problems on religion.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
