Conclusion: people that go to the church are on average more boring people then people who don't.

Whats more boring, going to church 1 hour a week or rotting in a coffin? When your dead Ill come visit you to keep you company.

hmmm...let's do some math
1 hr / week * 52 weeks / year == 52 hours / year
52 hours /year * 70 years (average life expectancy, roughly) = 3640 hours
3640 hours = 151 days =~ 6 months.
so, of the 1.8 - 3.1 years you gain, you really only gain 1.1 - 2.5 years, not including travel time.
now, in 3640 Sunday hours, I can drink probaby 3 beers per hour, so 10,920 beers == 1,820 six-packs == 455 cases.
so, as elementary level beer math dictates
455 cases of beer > 2.5 years of additional life
thus, everyone should quit going to church and start drinking beer on Sunday. Or, at least, start drinking a little bit earlier.

Reason they live longer: couple hours extra sleep on a nice cosy pew never harmed anyone
Or maybe its because they're terrorised by the thought of hell so much that they simply refuse to die?
