“Ter uma religi\u00e3o aumenta sua sobrevida?”<\/div>\n
A pergunta procede. Na esteira dos hard endpoints<\/em>, n\u00e3o basta viver melhor – o que certamente a religi\u00e3o permite – mas tamb\u00e9m, viver mais. O estranho \u00e9 que a sobrevida associada \u00e0s religi\u00f5es n\u00e3o \u00e9 um “efeito de classe” e varia positiva ou negativamente n\u00e3o apenas conforme a religi\u00e3o, mas dentro de correntes do pr\u00f3prio cristianismo! Pelo menos \u00e9 o que mostra um artigo <\/a>publicado na Social Force <\/a>em 1 de junho e comentado na Science Daily<\/a>.<\/div>\n
O autor, Troy Blanchard, afirma que pessoas que vivem em \u00e1reas com grande n\u00famero de cat\u00f3licos e protestantes (Mainline) acabam tendo uma sobrevida maior. Duas explica\u00e7\u00f5es s\u00e3o aventadas: “First, these types of churches have what’s known as a ‘worldly perspective.’ Instead of solely focusing on the afterlife, they place a significant emphasis on the current needs of their communities”. <\/em>Estas religi\u00f5es organizam esfor\u00e7os para os necessitados e sem-teto e participam de outras formas de caridade p\u00fablica. “Secondly, these congregations tend to create bridging ties in communities that lead to greater social cohesion among citizens.”<\/em> N\u00e3o sei bem o que isso quer dizer, mas atribui-se que o efeito \u00e9 um tipo de senso maior de comunidade que encoraja o comportamento saud\u00e1vel.<\/div>\n
Por outro lado, “We find that a greater presence of Fundamentalist and Pentecostal congregations is associated with higher rates of mortality, but communities with a large number of Evangelical congregations have better health outcomes”.<\/em> Continua: “In contrast to Catholics and Mainline Protestant congregations, Conservative Protestant churches have a mixed effect on community health. The “otherworldly” character of Conservative Protestantism leads congregations in this tradition to focus on the afterlife. Conservative Protestantism is also a more individualistic faith, one in which the believer’s personal relationship with God is paramount. These types of churches are thought to downplay the importance of using collective action, including human institutions, to improve the world. Communities dominated by Conservative Protestant churches tend to have higher mortality rates.”<\/em><\/div>\n

N\u00e3o li o artigo (acesso bloqueado) mas fico imaginando como o autor controlou vari\u00e1veis como classe social, instru\u00e7\u00e3o e outros fatores que influenciariam os \u00edndices de mortalidade. H\u00e1 v\u00e1rios blogs comentando o assunto. O mais interessante \u00e9 este<\/a>, com v\u00e1rios posts<\/a>. O mais legal, entretanto, foi o coment\u00e1rio postado em um deles, que reproduzo aqui:<\/div>\n

“There really is no evidence that the suggested mechanisms of church outreach\/ charity etc. has any effect at all on differential mortality statistics. And, on the contrary, there is a vast literature on the positive correlation of IQ and health e.g.: <\/em>http:\/\/www.udel.edu\/educ\/gottfredson\/reprints\/2004fundamentalcause.pdf<\/em><\/a>
\nhttp:\/\/www.bmj.com\/cgi\/content\/extract\/329\/7466\/585<\/em><\/a> and this may indeed be a fundamental factor in human evolutionary history, maybe driving the increase in IQ both pre- and post- the out-of-Africa event:
