Yeah I was thinking about using that as a topic title but the literal meaning didn’t seem relevant.

So here’s the actual news article.
It starts out
Religious people tend to live healthier, longer lives than atheists.This trend has puzzled academics for some time, but social scientists may have discovered the reason why.
Oh yeah? Why is that then?
Research published in Evolutionary Psychological Science has linked a rise in atheism to increasingly prevalent mutant genes.
WHAT 
Lead author Edward Dutton from the Ulster Institute for Social Research explained the research to Newsweek. He says: “Maybe the positive relationship between religiousness and health is not causal—it’s not that being religious makes you less stressed so less ill. Rather, religious people are a genetically normal remnant population from preindustrial times, and the rest of us are mutants who’d have died as children back then.”

See pages 360 to 361.
If you can’t read the chapter, the Gothic bible avoids hailags/hailag/hailaga because of its militaristic connotations, in favor of weihs/weih/weiha.
