Catlan works at harvard's human flourishing programme. The research that is the strongest on religion and subsequent health and well being is about religious service participation, or participation in religious community. Participation religious community really does have strong effect on people's mental health and physical health. But like any other healthy practice, it's not wone and done. You don't eat one apple one day to keep the doctor away. To see results, you have to do it regularly.
