    Can you send me a link to that study, if it is on the web?

  • Michael Hunt says:

    Flawed. There aren’t enough atheists to account for 90% of drug abusers. Plus, in my life, the worst abusers tended to be hard-core christians. Drug abuse and christianity both fill the same psychological role.

  • Anonnie Mouse says:

    I am not doing any drugs now, either. I am 39.
