Swedes, the Brits, even the Italians seldom go to church. Americans go regularly. Those nations have lower rates of violent crime and other social maladies, but so what? The efficacy of religion is considered proven, even if it is not. An author was trying to make this point. I didn't find the facts to necessarily back this up (for one Italians did seem to go to church). I don't consider the efficacy proven but this thin argument didn't disprove it and you can use other statistics such as suicide (a social malady) that might seem to.
