And studies do show that people affiliated with a religion tend to be happier and healthier. So should more people be joining up? And are there ways to make some of the most ancient religions a little more modern, or at least more open to progressive ideas? If not, where else can people find community and a sense of belonging? Drew Goins, Molly Roberts and Shadi Hamid discuss the usefulness, or not, of religion. Subscribe to The Washington Post here .…

President Trump appears to be thumbing his nose at the Supreme Court by defying its rulings on deportation.
