If that's the case (and I'm not saying it isn't) then what matter is it if the cause of one's strong feelings are founded in religion or elsewhere? And how does this affect anybody who is not emotionally attached to this ball-o'-feelings here?<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

It doesn't matter what the cause is, and I never said it could be confined only to religion/spirituality. :P I'm sure for many, philosophy among many other things are just as enlightening and fulfilling, triggering the same response.

I'm Atheist, so I can't vouch for it personally; but for some people, their emotional state does have an affect on their physical state to some degree. Religion brings many people hope, the feeling that they can go against any and all odds, so because they believe they will recover their body fights harder for them to recover.
