I decided to treat states and nations alike by attaching their life expediencies. Then I merged them with all the countries with their life exp giving me a list of 252 political units. I then raked them , 1 is longest living, extracted the states and added how states ranked in the world.🧪💡☠️

Here are the regression coefficients, b's, showing the effect of a one percent Evangelical each year from 1968 through 2023 on the number of deaths per 100,000. The COVID effect for the last four years is extreme. If this is hard to understand, click ALT and read the description there.🧪💡☠️

This graph shows the relationship between state percent evangelical and state age 20-64 death rates. The relationship gets stronger while the percent Evangelical , as measured here, stays close to the same. This calls for looking at this relationship by specific causes.🧪💡☠️

Native Americans receive most age 0-64 health care through the Indian Health Service and most of their age 65+ health care through Medicare. The graph shows their death rates from 1999 to 2013 as percents of 1999. I will present similar graphs for other groups soon. The raw data are in ALT.🧪💡☠️

What's up? Evangelical death rates and they have been going up for a long time. I think the root cause is Evangelical leaders making more money by taping into the very large cash flow for health care that capitalist health care has created. Click ALT to read an adequate description.🧪💡☠️

Humans are very complex with an infinite number of variables. You would have to be an idiot to judge them by one and dumber than an idiot to judge them by skin color. Racism was introduced to justify enslaving a labeled at birth population because it was easy to measure. It is also outlawed. 🧪💡☠️

A very consistent finding in sociology is that religion increases life expectancy. But among Evangelicals, that relationship is more Evans increase death rates. Basic statistics are on the graph. Your assignment is to calculate the death rate for 100% Evangelical state. Click ALT and read more.
