You can sling the crap all you want (even monkeys can do that) but your posts are low quality.

You did NOT point out any "lack of credibility" in Brooks. You merely found a liberal who took issue with one claim of Brooks about the cross-cultural relationship between happiness and religiosity. Even if the critic's argument were thought to be valid it wouldn't make Brooks non-credible nor nullify his observations about the relationship between happiness and religiosity in the US. And btw, I note that your own source has said so explicitly.

And there is no disputing the data: in the United States, religious participation is positively correlated with higher levels of self-reported happiness.

The 'left' doesn't care about his rantings because they are simply propaganda.

Clearly anyone willing to dispute something does care about the subject, so your own efforts, however inadequate, belie your claim.

----------------------------------------

You have zero credibility because you believe in resurrecting the dead. Those are the views that you linked to and which you said you agreed with.

Wrong on all counts.

-----------------------------------------

Since you cannot come up with (more or less, certainly more so than the AEI LOL) objective support for your self-righteous, pompous hypotheses, ...

Brooks and the data he has used is objective and the liberal critic you chose to highlight agrees thats its accurate. See the above quote .... "there is no disputing the data".

Further there's nothing "self-righteous" or "pompous" about noting an objective correlation between two things. To say one is happy is not to claim one is righteous or arrogant. Its just the reporting of a fact. Continuing, Brooks observation isn't a "hypotheses" - its an observation about the data as your chosen liberal critic admits.

See what I mean about your making multiple mistakes in a single sentence?
