While NBC gets due credit for actually covering the study, its report seemed to suggest religion is great as long as you are not too religious. FULL STORY

What is "too religious"? How is that defined? What is the standard used for measuring this.

Do we take the politically correct view rampant in our secular society where "religion" is best kept at home, under wraps and not discussed in public - akin to farting, I guess, or, for example, at the opposite end of the spectrum, instructions such as Christ's warning on being a lukewarm believer, and if you're not going to believe and live out your faith, don't even bother?

I guess I should be happy that NBC even discussed the topic of religion at all.......
