The scope and scale of these good consequences are relatively straightforward. In the non-financial sphere, for example, faith tends to lead to happiness and optimism. More surprisingly, faith produces financial rewards. In a nutshell, research shows a positive correlation between income and religious practice.

About a third of Americans are cremated when they die, according to the National Funeral Directors Association. But Baptists and other evangelicals have been slow to embrace the practice. A recent survey among leaders of the National Association of Evangelicals found that only 8 percent said they would choose cremation.
